After Iran’s missile attack, Israel may be ready to risk all-out war.

Description

“The approach that Israel has had over 75 years has always been about hitting your enemy harder than you’re being hit,” said Andreas Krieg, an expert on warfare at King’s College, London. “That doesn’t work with a regime like Iran, though. I don’t think you can deter them.”

As a result, Israel may be able to inflict short-term damage but fall short of long-term change, he said.

“I still haven’t seen a strategy,” Mr. Krieg said. “That’s what I’m trying to get from the Israelis: What is your strategy to weaken the regime?”
