Recently,Israeli-Palestinian conflictAnother escalation, Israel not only frequently strikes Hamas, but also launches air strikes on Syria. However, Israel's good times did not last long for theirMilitaryThe adviser was killed during the bombing of Syria. This gives Iran an opportunity to respond and declare that Israel will pay for it. So, how will Iran retaliate against Israel?This article will analyze possible forms of retaliation and assess their impact.
Despite the fact that Israel killed an Iranian oneMilitaryAdvisor, the possibility of Iran's direct involvement in the conflict is actually not very large. First of all, the bombing took place in Syria and did not directly threaten the territorial security of Iran, so the situation is not yet to the point of triggering. In addition, Iran seeks to take the lead in the Middle East, and its involvement in a conflict would have serious implications for its economic and livelihood stability. Moreover, Iran currently has tensions in the Middle East with a number of hostile countries, especially withSaudi Arabiaand so on. These countries do not want to see Iran mired in war. Even if Iran eventually wins over Israel, it will face retaliation from countries such as the United States, which will lead toSaudi Arabiaand other countries. Therefore, Iran is unlikely to intervene in the conflict easily.
Although Iran will not intervene directlyIsraeli-Palestinian conflict, but they still have two possible ways to retaliate. The first is by increasing its efforts in LebanonAllah, Houthi in YemenArmed, Hamas, and the Shiite militias of IraqMilitaryAid, by the hands of others, to retaliate violently against Israel. These groups are all a headache for Israel, and they all have strong ties to Iran.
For example,AllahIn 2000, Israel was devastated and forced to end its occupation of southern Lebanon. AllahWith advanced onesequipped, with its powerful rockets andMissilesFrom Iran. For Israel,Allahhas persisted in the presence of threats that have forced it to intensify its deployment along the Lebanese border. HouthisArmedIt has also grown rapidly with the support of Iran, which has a large numberMissiles, there is also the shadow of Iran behind it. Hamas as the main opposition organization in Palestine, itsThe equipment is also inseparable from the support of Iran. Iran just has to sit and waitAllahHouthisArmedand Hamas and other "little brothers" to launch attacks, and Israel will face tremendous pressure.
The second form of retaliation is to exert pressure, reduce, by means such as the blockade of the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of GibraltarEuropean and American countriesAid to Israel. Although the feasibility of such an approach is extremely low, Iran has not ruled it out. If Iran blocks the Strait of Gibraltar, it will block the passage of ships to and from the Mediterranean, rightEuropean and American countriesCaused a lot of distress. However, blockading these areas requires significant resources and capabilities, and Iran is very far from the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar. So, fromGeographyFrom above, the blockade by Iran is very difficult and is only a potential deterrent.
Iran in recent yearsMilitaryTremendous progress has been made in the field, and its military-industrial system is constantly evolving. They presented a range of new typesEquipment, including:Missiles, drones and ***, etc. The performance of these equipment is constantly improving, and so is the range and accuracy. In addition, Iran has stepped up its responsesAllahand other organizationsMilitaryaid, which has put Israel under more pressure in places such as Lebanon and Palestine.
However, despite Iran's growing military power and influence, they also face formidable adversaries from countries such as Israel and the United States. If Iran goes to full-scale war with Israel, then even if they achieve victory in the Middle East, they will suffer blows from the United States. In addition, Iran withSaudi ArabiaTensions between countries and others have also limited Iran's actions. Therefore, Iran needs to be cautious and not act rashly.
Taken together, there is still uncertainty about how Iran will retaliate against Israel. However, by increasing support for hostile Israeli organizationsMilitaryaid, as well as pressure to blockade the Mediterranean, Iran has the ability to retaliate against Israel. Despite the fact that Iran is inMilitarywithGeopolitics, but they still need to be cautious to avoid getting involved in a larger war.
