Iran conflict: Expert warns of focus on “miracle weapon”
According to Christian Mölling, Israel’s premier also wants to clear domestic policies with the attack on Iran. The political scientist warns to underestimate Iran.
In the opinion of Politologist Christian Mölling, the Israeli military offensive against Iran not only aims to destroy the nuclear program. “This is where Israel’s external and security-political goals mix with domestic policy goals, also with the survival struggle between the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu,” said Mölling, Senior Advisor at the Brussels Thinktank “European Policy Center” in star– “The Location -International”.
Netanyahu could become “unassailable”
Netanyahu can assume that “if he and his army successfully decimate the Iranian nuclear program, that he will then go into history as a hero and is almost unassailable”. The domestic policy allegations against him such as the corruption “may still exist legally”, says Mölling, but would then be hardly relevant politically.
Trump is in a dilemma
Experiencing Israel from foreign policy is currently eliminating a state that has been on the road for years as a “terrorist for Hisbollah and Hamas and is thus a permanent threat to Israel”. Netanyahu took the opportunity to do so in the United States with Donald Trump a president “who does not stand in the way”.
Donald Trump is now in front of a dilemma. If it relapses militarily, this could reduce the influence of the United States in the region. Conversely, it also applies: “If he exposes himself, it means that this can also go wrong for him.”
“Focus too much on a miracle weapon”
Mölling does not believe that the use of the American bunkerbreaking bomb GBU-57 could be a “gamuchanger” in conflict that decides on the outcome of the war. “We are very focused on such a miracle weapon,” he said. “The Iranians will have played through this scenario.” The political scientist assumes that Tehran already has “a plan B for” reconstruction after a completely destroyed nuclear weapon program “.
This is the only way to stop Iran
Mölling is convinced: “You can only throw Iran back, but do not stop completely – unless you can change the character of the state and the direction of the political leadership.” On this point, however, he is rather skeptical: “There is no example in the past where something like that happened so easily that you bombed out a government from office and then used a friendly -minded person stable.”
