Many analyzes are coming out regarding the war jointly waged by America and Israel against Iran. The war has entered its 13th day. Now many analysts are claiming that Israel has badly trapped America in this conflict. Analysis is saying that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dragged America into the war to fulfill Israel’s special objectives rather than American interests. Many experts believe that Israel entangled America in the war by presenting Iran’s nuclear program as a threat. In reality, Israel’s interests lie somewhere else and it wants to mislead everyone through this war.
In fact, Israel’s main objective through this attack was to disrupt US diplomacy with Iran and divert global attention from Israeli actions in Gaza. US President Trump’s desire to take credit for Israel’s actions has trapped him. Trump, who was initially neutral, is now making claims like ‘We have complete control over Iran’s skies’, which is encouraging Israel’s aggression. This is pushing America into a protracted campaign, which will harm American interests.
America could not assess Iran properly
Israel and the United States thought Iran would collapse quickly, but Iranian missile attacks and the activation of proxy groups turned the conflict regional. Steps like the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei united Shia Muslims. Increased attacks on American targets. Due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, more than half the world is now in trouble.
The global economy is clearly beginning to groan. The way Iran launched missile attacks on American allies in the Gulf and several American bases, it has shocked the allies. It is obvious that he is now busy increasing the pressure on America to end the war. Due to this they feel that everything is being destroyed.
Netanyahu put everyone in danger
Analysts at Responsible Statecraft write, “Israel is luring America into a trap. The nuclear issue was never the main motivation. Overall, Netanyahu has put everyone in danger.”
Palestine Chronicle analyst Inlakesh writes, Washington and Tel Aviv’s miscalculations led to the war, which made strategic defeat certain. Iran’s tactics have exhausted Israeli air defenses.
Iran will escalate the fight slowly
Ali Vaiz writes in the Guardian that on February 28, when America and Israel launched coordinated attacks against Iran, it seemed that America would overthrow Iran. But something else happened.
Iranian planners understand that their missile and drone production centers will be the main targets of America, they will not be able to survive the bombing for long. Therefore, large scale destruction of arms stockpile will have to be avoided. The fight will have to proceed slowly. Iran is doing the same now.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is not just a military institution. It is an economic empire, a political power and an ideological pillar. It is deeply embedded in Iran. The truth is that both America and Israel could not correctly assess the internal scenario of Iran. Even many Iranians who oppose the regime and wanted foreign military intervention to overthrow it are reluctant to commit to the complete collapse of the state for fear of the chaos that would follow. There is a difference between wanting change in the system and wanting the disintegration of the country.
risky for America
Former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Dana Stroll, research director at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, writes that Israel has trapped the US in a ‘truly combined US-Israeli military operation’, where the intelligence and military capabilities of the two countries are fully integrated. This is risky for America because the Israeli public supports the war, but American public opinion is against it. This could cause harm to American soldiers and the economy.
American intervention can only harm it
Iran expert and Brookings Institution’s Suzanne Maloney writes, Israeli attacks forced Iran to attack neighboring countries, which is implicating America in the global economy and the security of its allies. Despite appearing weak, the Iranian regime is flexible and America’s intervention could prove harmful to it.
War could trap America for a long time
Tamar Rabinovitch, former president of Tel Aviv University and Middle East expert, says Israel’s aggression is clashing with Trump’s desire for a ‘quick end’, which could worsen US-Israel relations. Iranian attacks on Gulf countries are putting American bases in danger. Maria Carlin, a defense policy expert at the Brookings Institution, writes that this war could trap America for a long time.
Gulf countries have started considering Israel as a regional threat
As written in a column in the New York Times, Gulf countries have now started considering Israel as a regional threat, because its attacks provoked Iran and weakened American protection. Due to this, America’s diplomacy is failing.
The American people themselves believe the same. This is also evident from many recent polls. Several recent polls conducted this month suggest that Israel’s role has been one of “trigger” or “trap”. This will harm American interests.
In recent posts on X, some American users are saying that “Israel trapped America in the Iran war”. As casualties increase, public opinion will become more against. If the war continues longer, opposition may increase. Many users are saying that Israel is sitting comfortably and America is now bearing all the losses. Many users wrote that America would not have even imagined that Iran could give it a big blow by responding in this way.
