"The Case for Israel's Strike on Iran"
The recent Iranian drone and ballistic missile attack on Israel was a warning to deter Israel from taking direct action against Iran, marking a shift from solely targeting Iranian proxies. Iran's four-decade strategy of proxy warfare has allowed it to gain control over the region and pose a threat to Israel's security. The killing of a top Iranian commander by Israel signaled a change in approach, prompting Iran's recent attack to intimidate Israel and its Western allies from further action. Western governments are now urging Israel to avoid escalating the situation, but a passive approach may not be sufficient to counter Iran's aggressive regional ambitions.
