Experts discuss the Iran-Israel war, military objectives, prospects for deescalation and regional implications.
The recent escalation between Iran and Israel marks the fiercest and most prolonged military confrontation ever between the two states.
Following Israel’s strikes on Iran on 13 June, reportedly aimed at incapacitating Iran’s nuclear and defence capabilities and military leadership, Tehran retaliated with missile attacks on Israel. Waves of strikes have continued over the past four days on multiple locations in Israel and Iran, raising fears that the conflict could lead to even greater regional escalation.
Key questions include:
- As the war continues, what strategic goals are Tehran and Tel Aviv pursuing and how will this shape the conflict’s trajectory?
- How are key regional and international actors, including the Gulf states and the US, responding to the escalation?
- What viable diplomatic or military off-ramps exist to prevent a broader regional war, and what leverage do outside powers have to encourage de-escalation?
- How have the attacks impacted Israel and Iran’s international position?
- What are the implications of Israel’s strikes on Iran for Tehran’s political leadership and nuclear programme?
