And So, the War – Likely – Begins Again

The situation in the Eastern Mediterranean is escalating, with indications that an Israeli strike on Iran is imminent. The arrival of American refueling warplanes in Israel suggests preparation for extensive air operations, while the concentration of forces and the sending of messages from Israel to Tehran, via Moscow, indicate that diplomacy has failed. The US is no longer calling on Israel to exercise restraint, indicating that escalation is considered inevitable. The situation is worsened by the imbalance in the condemnation of Israel and Iran by the UN General Assembly, where Israel is condemned disproportionately more. The likelihood of military conflict is increasing, as the deadline set for Iran expires on Thursday, and there are no indications that the mullahs will back down. The situation is extremely unstable and the region is on the brink of a new conflict.
