The United States has launched a new military campaign against Iran, joined by Israel, under the pretext of ensuring security, while Iran retaliates against these attacks with a strong military response.
On Saturday, the United States initiated a new military campaign against Iran, with Israel joining in under the guise of security. Both nations have consistently employed this rhetoric to justify military actions against perceived enemies, adhering to a doctrine of peace through strength. This approach, notably adopted by former President Trump during his second term, advocates for coercion and preemptive strikes as means to achieve global stability.
However, many analysts argue that this strategy is flawed, suggesting that true security and peace are not products of military intervention but rather the absence of it. In the initial stages of the conflict, Iran has responded with military force, targeting Israel and American bases across the Gulf with its robust military capabilities. The Iranian leadership, fearing the possible collapse of their regime established since 1979, is likely to unleash their full military potential, mobilizing allied militias such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthis in Yemen.
This escalation of hostilities could lead to a significant and dangerous conflict, reminiscent of previous military engagements in the region. The rhetoric of peace and security used by the United States and Israel may ultimately contribute to further instability, rather than preventing it. The unfolding situation will require careful monitoring, as the implications of this military campaign extend beyond immediate regional concerns, potentially impacting global relations and security dynamics as well.
