An analyst with the Arab Desk, Abu Salah, argued on Monday that the US airstrike on Iran last night was not a dramatic escalation, but a continuation of the same targets struck for over eight days. He dismissed the notion of a game-changing event.
Abu Salah, an analyst with the Arab Desk, wrote on Monday morning that the US strike on Iran last night was not a dramatic new development. 'The US continued to attack the same targets that have been attacked for more than eight days,' he argued, calling the notion of a game-changing event 'bullshit'. His commentary comes as US strikes on Iran have been reported for over a week, with The Zioneer covering multiple waves of American operations since June. The analyst's assessment suggests that despite the timing of the strike coinciding with the end of the World Cup, the operation was not a departure from the existing campaign.
