‘Iran decided not to keep quiet about Israel’s attacks anymore,’ News 13 analyst Zvi Yehezkeli says.

Journalist Zvi Yehezkeli, News 13‘s Arab affairs analyst, spoke with 103 FM Radio‘s Nissim Mishal about the rising tensions on Israel’s northern border and IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi’s warning that the situation may deteriorate.
–
Do the Iranians have an interest in conflict on the border?
“Certainly the answer is yes. The Israeli assumption up until now has been that Iran can hold back and does not want a general conflict. That’s beginning to crack. I’ll tell you what it’s about. Until now Israel has been attacking all bases and attacking all Iranian entrenchment in Syria, for over two years. All of this was done with the understanding that Iran would be exposed and not want to respond.
–
“But what happened? Things in the Middle East are changing and Chief of Staff Kohavi is warning us: ‘Right now we need to watch our step.’ And I’ll tell you, from Iran’s perspective, they’ve made a decision. They decided first of all to stop putting up with all the Israeli attacks. That means from now on there’ll be a response.

“We see that now as well, with [Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah’s drones. It was a different Nasrallah. These are the buds of an awakening Iran. The other thing is, and this is the most important thing to understand here, Iran’s attack on Saudi oil facilities. Iran is examining the world, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the US, all at the same time, in a very precise attack. So Israel suddenly remembered that the Iranians have precise cruise missiles, and it also wants to protect itself.”
–
Meaning the US’ lack of response shows them that they can do what they want.
“Exactly. The US failed the test here. [US President Donald] Trump failed the huge test the Iranians gave him. What did he tell them? ‘I’ll keep quiet about this kind of thing.’ And that harms the holy of holies. We were in the lead-up to elections and we didn’t understand how powerful this is. It was a mega-attack in the heart of Saudi Arabia, its oil facilities, and the US kept quiet. The Gulf States were in shock, they went to ask Iran for protection. They’re already collapsing in front of it.
–
“It’s already not a Sunni bloc that can fight against the Iranians. They’re afraid of them and Saudi Arabia gave in, it was caught in its moment of weakness. After that the Iranians came and said now that ‘any response’ or ‘any Israeli action will receive an appropriate response’ and that puts us now on the brink of a low-scale conflict with the Iranians, which we didn’t want to have happen, and it exposes you to a lot of things like the Iranian cruise missiles.”
–
Do you believe that we and the Iranians are close to another round of fighting?
“If Israel continues attacking and sets a goal of ending the precise missile project and Iran’s entrenchment, then the answer to your question is yes. But I think what will happen is that Israel will consider her next steps and avoid such a conflict. There’s the Iranian deterrence. In answer to your question there is Iranian deterrence which has now come into play, and so we’re close to such a conflict and it depends mostly on Israel. Because Israel is the active player here, which is trying to hinder the Iranians. I think that from now on Israel will watch her steps, it’ll look different.”
