Israeli Strikes on Iran Risk Unleashing an Apocalyptic Regional War, Expert Says
The Middle East, already shaken by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, is facing an "almost inevitable escalation," political scientist Abdelhak Najib told Sputnik Africa.
"This is a double-edged game because Iran could enter into direct war with Israel. And Iran is definitely not an easy opponent to eliminate. […] It could also inflict severe damage upon Israel and the entire region," he noted.
Israel informed the White House about its strikes in advance not because Tel Aviv sought "explicit approval" of the US, according to the speaker.
"The White House was informed, the Pentagon knew, the intelligence services knew. […] They [Israel] simply wanted to inform their traditional ally. Now, would the US have wanted to prevent these attacks? Frankly, I don't think so," the scientist explained.
