"Experts Warn of Escalating Tensions as Israel Considers Response to Iranian Attacks"

Foreign policy and military experts are urging Israel to deliver a "disproportionate" military response to Iran's recent attacks, citing concerns about Iran's strengthening relationship with Russia and potential acquisition of advanced military hardware. The experts argue that a strong response is necessary to reestablish deterrence and prevent Iran from further aggression, including targeting Iran's air defenses, military headquarters, and nuclear weapons program. They warn that failure to impose a severe cost on Iran could embolden Tehran to deploy weapons armed with nuclear or chemical payloads in the future.
