Iran threatens Israel again: the dance no one can stop

The warning of a new Iranian attack on Israel comes at a time when the region seems trapped in a war loop. While Tehran feels emboldened after its incursions in defense of Hezbollah, the moves by the U.S. and Israel fuel an escalation that has the Middle East on the brink of collapse.

The script that keeps repeating

According to the most widespread analyses, the dynamic is predictable: Iran attacks, Israel responds, Trump announces a peace deal that never materializes, and then Israel strikes Beirut to sabotage it. The cycle repeats until a miscalculation – a massacre of Israeli civilians, the destruction of Iranian oil infrastructure or the death of American soldiers – triggers an irreversible war. It is exactly what Netanyahu wants in order to perpetuate his eternal war of annihilation, as several critical voices point out.

The United States: director or spectator?

Washington's role is a matter of controversy. While some argue that the Americans started the whole conflict and that Israel acts as their destabilizing arm, others point out that the White House wants Israel to lead alone while the U.S. preserves its influence over increasingly reluctant vassals. The key, they say, would be to wreck the Eurasian economy using Israel as a scapegoat.

Last year's trigger

The turning point lies in the Israeli bombing of the Iranian embassy, which was trinc by promises of retaliation. Although some recall that in 2024 Trump bombed Iran's nuclear facilities, most agree that the current escalation began with that attack on the diplomatic compound. Hezbollah, the proxies, the retaliation… it is all part of a chessboard where Iran no longer hides.

The price of eternal war

Nobody was forced to start this war, but the political and economic cost weighs more heavily on Iran, which wants out of the quagmire, while Israel prefers to keep going. The unanswered question is how long the region can hold out before the cycle breaks in the worst possible way.


Against this backdrop, the Iranian threat is no bluff: it is the domino tile that fell months ago.
