Israel Response To Iran Missile attack | NTD NEWS with Geopolitical Analyst Avi Melamed | NTD NEWS TODAY – October 2, 2024.
NTD spoke to Avi Melamed, a former Israeli intelligence official and former senior official on Arab affairs, about Israel Response To Iran Missile attack
Israel’s Response to Iranian Strikes: Avi Melamed expects a significant Israeli response to Iranian strikes, likely coordinated with the United States. He emphasizes that Israel is prepared to act decisively to protect itself.
Public Sentiment in Israel: Israelis are maintaining high morale despite the attacks. Melamed notes that the population understands the severity of the situation and is committed to defending their freedom and independence.
Iran’s Intentions: Melamed suggests that Iran’s recent strikes may be an attempt to re-establish deterrence after Israel’s military successes in Gaza and Lebanon. Iran is working to protect its image and prevent further damage to its proxies.
Nature of Iran’s Attack: The Iranian strikes were indiscriminate, targeting civilian areas instead of military bases. Melamed highlights that these attacks were aimed at Israeli civilians, in contrast to Israel’s more targeted and precise strikes.
Israel’s Response Strategy: Israel is expected to respond with pinpoint, targeted strikes, unlike Iran’s broad, indiscriminate missile attacks. Melamed stresses that Israel must defend its citizens and has no other choice but to retaliate decisively.
Pressure on Israel to Show Restraint: While some voices are calling for restraint, Melamed argues that Israel must demonstrate that attacks on its civilians will come with severe consequences, and that Israel will not back down from defending its citizens.
US Support for Israel: The United States has reaffirmed its commitment to stand by Israel. Melamed sees this as crucial in the face of Iranian aggression, and he believes the U.S. must adopt a more assertive approach to confronting Iran.
The US’s Past Approach to Iran: Melamed criticizes the U.S. and other Western powers for avoiding confrontation with Iran in the past. He argues that this has emboldened Iran and its proxies, worsening the situation.
Time for Action Against Iran: Melamed believes the time for avoiding confrontation with Iran has passed. He advocates for a decisive response to the Iranian regime’s threats and actions to prevent further destabilization in the region.
Changing the Dynamic with Iran: Melamed stresses that Iran has long acted with impunity, threatening and attacking without facing real consequences. He calls for a shift in this dynamic, emphasizing that the Iranian regime must face repercussions for its actions.
