Israel is facing an unprecedented multidimensional war, and Iran is sparing no effort to launch an offensive against it, leaving it in a losing position. Historically, Israel has won the last five wars in the Middle East, but has always paid more for post-war political settlements. The Third Middle East War of 1967 was a case in point, in which Israel had to withdraw from occupied territory during the post-war political negotiations, despite its brilliant victory. This post-war defeat has become Israel's nightmare. Iran, on the other hand, is waging a three-dimensional war under the guidance of a high level to put Israel in an even more difficult position.
The multidimensional war waged by Iran involves two fronts, internal and external, as well as a major encirclement of the political and diplomatic battlefield. The first is Hamas's guerrilla warfare in the Gaza Strip, and the war on the inside line becomes a strategic challenge for Israel. The outer line, on the other hand, is the general encirclement for which the Arc of Resistance is responsible, on which Israel has been passive and faces the threat of a full-scale attack at any time. Whether the siege can form a full-scale offensive depends on two factors: first, the extent of Israel's attrition in Gaza and the depth of its inducement;The second is the international support that Israel has lost on the political and diplomatic battlefield, especially the attitude of the United States. Iran, on the other hand, dominates the political-diplomatic battlefield, and Israel is under tremendous siege and pressure internationally.
Iran has taken a series of actions on the political-diplomatic battlefield aimed at launching an all-round encirclement and offensive against Israel. The first is an important victory on the battlefield of the United Nations, marked in particular by the United States' choice to abstain from voting in the recent Security Council resolution, an arena in which Israel has completely lost and has created an image for itself as a world that refuses to cooperate. Secondly, Iran actively unites Arab and Muslim countries to jointly condemn Israel and act as much as possible. For example, Raisi, Iran, arrived in Saudi Arabia on November 11 for a joint extraordinary summit of Arab-Islamic leaders. In addition, Iran has made every effort to enlist the support of major powers, with the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister arriving in Russia at the same time as the Hamas delegation on October 26, and a joint delegation of Arab and Islamic foreign ministers visiting China on November 20, and the delegation is also scheduled to visit several other major countries. In addition, Iran is trying to win over a broader bloc and enlist the support of countries that oppose Israel. On November 20, Raisi, Iran, personally sent a letter to the leaders of 50 countries, demanding that they end commercial and political cooperation with Israel in order to force Israel to stop its atrocities in the Gaza Strip. This political-diplomatic offensive has had a huge impact, with a global wave of opposition to Israel's mistreatment of Palestinians in Gaza, with several countries condemning Israel and even severing diplomatic relations or taking other diplomatic actions against it, and some countries have initiated international lawsuits against Israel for war crimes.
Under Iran's all-round offensive, Israel will face greater passivity and greater losses in the post-war political settlement. Israel is no longer focused on the Gaza battlefield, but needs to emerge victorious outside the battlefield. Wars are no longer won only on the battlefield, but if they are not won outside the battlefield, victory on the battlefield will also be severely weakened. Israel urgently needs to push for a solution on the political-diplomatic battlefield and gain international support, or risk losing even more benefits.
In short, Iran's multidimensional war against Israel has created unprecedented challenges for Israel. Iran's strategic guidance and political-diplomatic offensive have made Israel more passive in the post-war political settlement and will pay a greater price. War is no longer just about winning on the battlefield, but also about political and diplomatic victories. Israel needs to be aware of this and seek the best balance between war and peace to ensure its long-term interests. War cannot solve problems, and it is only through peace and cooperation that a truly stable situation can be achieved.
