Explosions in Iran Mark a New Stage in the Conflict with Tehran
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - The Iranians have been waging an active war against Israel since Oct. 7 through its proxies: Hizbullah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria. Iran not only directs its proxies on when and how much to harm Israel, but it also provides them with the weapons and military intelligence necessary to strike Israel during wartime. Israel's rationale behind its alleged moves is that Iranian citizens should pay the price if Israeli citizens in the north of the country can't return to their homes and if residents of Eilat are forced to stay in shelters. Iranian residents need to know that the regime's aggressive policy also affects them directly. Moreover, in recent months, elimination of officers in Iran's Revolutionary Guards who operated Shiite militias in Syria or aided Hizbullah in firing its weapons systems have been attributed to Israel. These moves, if carried out by Israel, were intended to make it clear to the Iranians that they would pay the price for such actions. Israel still holds back from targeting Iranian oil production and exports. Meanwhile, Israel does what the U.S. is still unwilling to do.
