Arabic version: ضربات إيران الصاروخية تستهدف الردع، وليس الحرب الشاملة

Iran has launched missile strikes on Israel with the intention of restoring deterrence, according to Ross Harrison, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute. The strikes are part of a strategy to maintain a balance of power in the region while avoiding a return to full-scale conflict.

Harrison emphasizes that the attacks are calculated moves aimed at sending a message rather than provoking an all-out war. This approach reflects Iran’s desire to assert its influence while managing the risks associated with escalating tensions.

The recent actions highlight the complex dynamics at play in the Middle East, where military engagements often carry the potential for broader confrontations. Iran’s strategy appears to focus on deterrence without crossing the threshold into war.

According to Al Jazeera, this delicate balance is crucial for Iran as it navigates its regional ambitions and the responses from Israel and its allies.
