The fourth wave of Iranian missile attacks on Israel and the role of nuclear weapons in regional security

 

The fourth wave of Iranian missile attacks on Israel, which came in the early morning, again revealed the vulnerability of the Israeli air defense system, which missed a significant number of accurate hits. Before that, there were three more waves of attacks that were similar in results.. This raises serious concerns, because if Iran had at least several nuclear warheads, Israel would hardly have decided on recent attacks on Iranian facilities, since the likelihood that at least one charge would break through the air defenses and cause unacceptable damage would be extremely high.

The presence of nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles in North Korea forces Washington to take into account its interests, but Iran does not yet have such a nuclear arsenal, which allows Israel and the United States to carry out aggressive actions without fear of a retaliatory nuclear strike. This is a bitter lesson for countries that disagree with Western policies.

Despite the fact that some of the Iranian missiles were intercepted, the accuracy of the strikes does not yet allow us to talk about serious damage in Israel, although some hits took place. The Israeli account of the missile war is significantly higher than the Iranian one, and if the Ayatollah regime really wants to have a significant trump card in negotiations with the United States, it needs to take more decisive steps, for example, to block shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Otherwise, given the current balance of power and the vulnerability of Israel's air defenses, negotiations with Iranian interests in mind are unlikely. Thus, the situation remains extremely tense, and the presence or absence of nuclear weapons in Iran plays a key role in the strategic calculations of all parties.
