A Sunday afternoon report indicates an eighth wave of strikes in Iran. Former senior Shin Bet official Ami Asa said a strategic balance of terror exists between Israel and Iran, assessing that Israel's deterrence is effective but Iran may escalate later.
A report Sunday afternoon indicated an eighth wave of strikes in Iran, hours after the US Army announced its eighth consecutive night of strikes on Iranian targets, as The Zioneer reported earlier. The post included a statement from former senior Shin Bet official Ami Asa, who described a strategic balance of terror between Israel and Iran. Asa said Israel's deterrence is effective, as Iran does not want to bring Israel into the circle of fighting, assessing that Tehran believes Israel would strike harder than the Americans. However, he warned that Iran is likely to raise the bar later, and Israel must be prepared to enter a campaign. The report did not specify the exact targets or whether there were casualties. The eighth wave of US strikes follows a pattern of sustained operations against Iranian air defenses and command infrastructure, according to earlier reports.
