Israel’s response to Iran ‘to be harsher than last time’: Analysis
Andreas Krieg, senior lecturer at the School of Security Studies at King’s College London, says any military response by Israel against Iran is unlikely to damage its nuclear facilities, which are “deep underground, under mountains, so very few options there”.
“The attack by Iran yesterday was far more severe than in April in terms of impact, so the response sent by Israel will have to be harsher than last time with aircraft perhaps entering Iranian airspace and targeting military sites,” Krieg told Al Jazeera.
“I don’t see how attacks on non-military sites, such as oil refineries, would have any impact or be any way justified as a form of response to this strike yesterday.
“What is key here is Israel wants to show resolve and strength, but there’s also a lot of hubris in terms of thinking Israel can achieve something that I think they cannot achieve militarily.”
