The danger of an all-out war is growing
Iran’s response to the death of Hezbollah’s leader with attacks of almost 200 missiles last Tuesday (01/10) could escalate the confrontation between the two Middle Eastern powers, amid attacks during the week on the terrorist group’s bases in southern Lebanon.
France has taken a tough stance against Israel’s response, which it is speculated could even attack Iran’s nuclear bases, which don’t have the bomb (it is believed) but do have a plant and laboratories where they could be preparing the bomb.
Unlike the other powers, which announce that they have the bomb to intimidate their enemies, Israel and Iran prefer to hide it, and Iran has suffered numerous sanctions by and visits from the UN so that it doesn’t have the bomb, but its allies, including China and Russia, may have helped it to do so, and an attack by Israel would be aimed at these targets, it is speculated.
In Ukraine, some of its “strongholds” in the east of the country (near Kharkiv) have fallen into Russian hands, and Russia’s threatening tone has already gone beyond the borders of the war, with open threats to Poland and other countries that could help Poland.
There, too, the tone of threats and diplomatic crises is growing with alignments and world powers positioning themselves. On the economic front, the expansion of the BRICS (initially Brazil, Russia, China, India and South Africa, expanded to include Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Ethiopia) could favor dangerous alliances for NATO and Israel.
That’s why there’s no shortage of dialogues to force Israel not to strike back at Iran, its traditional allies, such as France, which is radically against it, and the United States, which although involved in protecting Israel, also doesn’t want this dangerous escalation that threatens world peace.
It is to be hoped that there will be a greater commitment to peace due to the seriousness of these threats, and that there will be a difficult reversal of the escalation that is heading towards an absurd civilizational crisis in which everyone will suffer.
