[66313] View of the Regional Campaign: Assessments for Continued Fighting and the Influence of Political Echelons

Assessments for a Prolonged Campaign Against Iran and the Regional Arena

Against the backdrop of the ongoing fighting, which began about three years ago, assessments are growing that the regional conflict is far from over. On the channel Abu Saleh The Arab Desk, which presents a critical position toward the American administration and Israel's leadership, it is claimed that "the war that began almost 3 years ago will accompany us for many more years to come." Abu Saleh emphasizes that events are managed in coordination between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and warns the public that "the truth is very far" from the prevailing perception regarding the possibility of upcoming peace agreements.

Simultaneously, security experts are analyzing Israel's operational capabilities. In a conversation on Zirat HaHadashot (News Arena), Brig. Gen. (res.) Relik Shafir estimated that "the strikes in Iran will continue from where they left off and will include damage to infrastructure." According to Shafir, this is a war of attrition that requires patience, with the Air Force being in "high alert" after a lull period that was utilized for preparation.

The interpretation emerging from both sources points to a consensus regarding the depth of the campaign. While Abu Saleh The Arab Desk focuses on the political and strategic aspects under the influence of the leadership in the US and Israel, Zirat HaHadashot focuses on the military readiness of Air Force pilots and the security necessity to continue infrastructural activity against Iran, while clarifying that this is a "war for survival."
