Anticipated Outcomes of Israel-Iran Clash
================================================================
In a recent podcast discussion, Ellie Geranmayeh from the European Council on Foreign Relations' Middle East and North Africa programme, and Eran Etzion, former policy planning director for the Israeli foreign ministry and former deputy head of Israel's National Security Council, have highlighted the urgent need for Europe to act now to prevent a potential conflict between Israel and Iran.
The podcast, which focused on the development of the conflict since last Friday's emergency broadcast, explored the limited options that both Israel and Iran face in the coming weeks and months. The possibility of renewed direct military clashes or continued proxy conflicts was discussed, as well as the fragile diplomatic solutions that exist. These solutions involve ceasefires mediated by external powers like the US, Saudi Arabia, or Turkey, with an emphasis on dialogue over force to de-escalate tensions.
Despite the high reality of conflict given recent attacks and rhetoric, the conversation also considered some openings for diplomacy, as shown by the recent ceasefire agreements. However, the repercussions of America joining the war in support of Israel were also considered, with potential consequences including a broader Middle Eastern conflict, direct retaliatory attacks on US forces, and significant regional destabilization with global geopolitical fallout.
The article, written by Julien Barnes-Dacey, Ellie Geranmayeh, and Hugh Lovatt, calls for Europe to prevent a major war between Israel and Iran. The authors argue that Europe must take a more active role in the region and work towards a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, rather than simply reacting to the escalating tensions.
It is important to note that the article does not discuss the likely US response to the conflict, nor does it analyze the conflict from the Iranian perspective or explore Israel's options in the coming weeks and months. Furthermore, the article does not discuss the possibility of a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, nor does it consider the reactions of G7 states in the discussion.
In conclusion, the potential for conflict between Israel and Iran is a serious concern that requires immediate attention from the international community. Europe must take a more active role in the region and work towards a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, in order to prevent a major war and the devastating consequences that would follow.
