According to the newspaper's source, these options include a potential strike on a facility in Tehran or a cyberattack.

Everyone agrees that Israel must respond. The only question is how to respond and when

said the source of WP.

At the same time, he noted that Israel's allies do not want an "excessive response," but the dialog in this direction continues. "Israel has been fighting Iran with varying intensity for many years. This will not stop tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. And it will not stop if Israel responds right now," the source added.

The newspaper notes that Iran's massive attack on Israel was repelled, in part, thanks to coordination with the United States, Britain, and France.

According to the analysts interviewed by WP, this is a "strategic opportunity" for Israel to return to the international community and restore its regional alliances.

This is an opportunity to create a new American-led regional security alliance against Iran, if we can seize it

said Chuck Freilich, former deputy chairman of the Israeli National Security Council.

"Israel needs to act wisely to strengthen the regional and global front [against Iran]," the source added.

The United States and the G7 are not publicly restraining Israel from retaliating against Iran's attack, but possible solutions are already being discussedApr 15 2024, 05:20 PM • 19294 views
