Assessing the Aftermath of Iran's Assault
On Saturday night, Iran launched an unprecedented aerial attack against Israel in response to the April 1 strike on the Iranian embassy compound in Damascus that killed IRGC commander Mohammad Reza Zahedi. In the face of this assault, Israel, the U.S., Jordan, and other European and Arab allies coordinated to successfully intercept the majority of Iran’s missiles and drones, preventing them from inflicting significant damage on the ground.
In this Israel Policy Briefing, Haaretz Military Correspondent Amos Harel unpacked the state of affairs in the wake of this attack, including how Israel might respond, implications across the various fronts of Israel’s conflict with Iran, the likelihood of an all-out regional war, and how this development impacts Israel’s ties with the U.S., the Arab world, and other key partners amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
