A collision course with Iran:
Israel and the Islamic Republic of Iran appear to be on a path toward renewed confrontation. Tehran's ongoing buildup of ballistic missiles and drones, along with growing suspicions that it intends to restore its nuclear capabilities, have raised serious concern in Jerusalem. Satellite images have revealed what analysts believe could be preparations for a new uranium enrichment facility south of Natanz.
These developments, combined with stalled nuclear negotiations between Iran and the US, tensions with Europe over the reimposition of sanctions under the "snapback" mechanism, and Iran's fear of another Israeli or USA airstrike, the risk of escalation only grows. With the Gaza campaign now over, Israeli decision-makers are free to focus on the Iranian threat.
Israel's defense leadership now faces a difficult choice: whether to resume military action, likely under less favorable conditions than in the recent "Lion's Roar" operation—or to opt for "containment," which would effectively allow Iran to rebuild its capabilities. This dilemma comes amid widespread skepticism that Washington and Tehran will reach any new nuclear agreement.
