Weekend escalation on Middle East It raised concerns about the regional war. Israeli strikes on the Iranian nuclear facilities or the removal of military command caused Iranian retaliation and the number of victims on both sides is increasing. «  The destruction of a nuclear program is only a declaratory goal,” He says in an interview with the SME daily security analyst Josef Kraus from Masaryk University in Brno. «  Israel is likely to be interested in completely different things,“He says.

What development do you expect in the coming days? Can the situation grow into a regional war?

I would start from the end. Certainly it can all be overthrown in the Regional War, because the intensity of the conflict can escalate by engaging other parties, especially the United States of America.

Israel is currently trying to draw Americans into war. Aggressive rhetoric US President Donald Trump However, it goes to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Opposite. At the same time, the demonstration of US aviation’s strength at US bases or in the Gulf area should not be forgotten.

So far, of course, it is not clear how it all turns out. In the coming days, the situation is likely to look the same as it looks unless any other actor enters the conflict. That means that Iran It will be fired by the Israeli territory and Israel will perform raids for Iranian infrastructure.

However, the funds of both countries remain relatively limited because they are distant from each other, which means that there is no risk of tanks. They simply have to continue to confront remotely.

I can still imagine Iraqi militias in Iraq that would attack US military representation in Iraq. This has already happened in history. However some march of the Iranians through Iraq Whether I really consider Syria to be unlikely. This is possible, but practically impossible.

In the meantime, Trump sent aircraft to the Middle East. Don’t the US enter the war?

Meanwhile, I perceive it as a manifestation of willingness into the conflict or enter. I currently consider direct involvement to be less likely.

Can the situation worsen the relationship between the US and Israel? There is information that Trump and Netanyahu do not believe.

It’s quite complicated to read. Two weeks ago I would say that the US has taken a relatively constructive approach to the whole thing as they negotiate in Oman With Iran’s nuclear agreement, which is in the interests of Americans, but also Iranians.

But there was a change. The Israelis carried out a military attack that could not be carried out without the US consent. In addition, Israel has carried out it with the support of the US logistics infrastructure, which makes the US a secondary actor in the US, who has not directly involved in the conflict, but supports the Israelis financially and information.

At the same time, the links released by Trump are confusing. On the one hand, Iran threatens to be threatened, but on the other he claims to disagree with the power in which Israel addresses the situation.

Even the dynamics of the relationship between Trump and Netanyahu is confusing. The US President has essentially passed from the support of genocide in Gaza bandwhich included plans to level the enclave with the ground for the construction of the golf course, only after the visit of the Middle East, in which Israel omitted.
