- Did the conflict lead to greater unity within Iranian society?
- How has the international community responded to the attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities?
- What does this conflict reveal about Israel’s national security strategy?
Col. Jacques Baud:
- Israel aimed to destabilize Iran politically, involve the U.S. militarily, and damage Iran’s nuclear program, but none of these objectives were fully achieved.
- The U.S. provided minimal support, reluctant to be deeply involved, suggesting a limited alignment with Israeli interests.
- Despite internal divisions, the conflict strengthened national unity in Iran, even among minority groups like the Jewish community.
- International institutions like the IAEA failed to respond effectively, highlighting a collapse in global legal and ethical order.
- Israel’s strategy remains overly militaristic and disconnected from regional realities, making long-term stability unlikely.
