Iranian attack on Israel will have serious consequences on the geopolitical level, says Sébastien Boussois. The image of an untouchable Hebrew state, respected because it is feared, is hanging by a thread, he says.
The effectiveness of the Dahiya doctrine, which aims to carry out disproportionate reprisal operations against the lawless Islamists of Hamas to terrorize its enemies, already seems to be over, he adds. The White House will now also be the one in history who will have been in power while Iran has just struck Israeli territory, says Bous sois. It was not the case in the case of the assassinations of several Revolutionary Guards in Damascus on April 2 that provoked the Iranian embassy attack in Tel Aviv. The U.S. has staunchly supported the Jewish state, that is to say since its creation in 1948, and the security of the latter has never been so endangered, says the researcher, who is also a teacher and researcher in the Arab world.
