‘Israeli strikes have made war inevitable’
Israel’s strikes have caused the Iranian public to “rally around the flag” and made war inevitable, says an Iranian academic. Foad Izadi, a professor at the University of Tehran, told Al Jazeera that there was strong public sentiment in Iran that the country must “hit, and hit back hard”.
“Iran didn’t want to have a war,” he said. “But the other side has given Iran no choice but to respond. And the response should be at a level to make sure that … the same thing doesn’t happen again. He continued, “So you have the very sad situation where we’re going to see … another war.”
Izadi said that the attacks were viewed as “a joint American-Israeli venture”, and that US installations in the region would likely be viewed as legitimate military targets. “Iran did not want to have a military confrontation with the United States,” he said. “But if Iran decides to attack American bases, they have very legitimate reasons to do that.”
