Patrick Kingsley:以色列对真主党发动的军事行动,特别是暗杀哈桑·纳斯鲁拉,极大地削弱了真主党,并可能改变了该地区的力量平衡。以色列的行动最初似乎让真主党和伊朗感到恐惧,但伊朗最终对以色列发起了大规模导弹袭击,这是以色列历史上最大规模的袭击之一。尽管造成的损害有限,但这标志着冲突的重大升级。以色列将对伊朗的袭击进行报复,可能的报复目标包括油田、军事基地和核设施。以色列可能需要美国的帮助才能打击伊朗的核设施,但打击其他目标则不需要。以色列认为自己是伊朗及其代理人联盟的受害者,需要展示实力来威慑未来的袭击,并扭转在加沙战争中展现出的弱点。 Farnaz Fassihi:伊朗将自己视为受到攻击,并认为以色列对真主党等代理人的袭击对其构成生存威胁。伊朗在7月份以色列暗杀哈马斯领导人后没有立即报复,但事后认为这一决定是错误的。伊朗为了增强国内和地区信誉,并巩固其在该地区的联盟,决定对以色列发动袭击。伊朗的袭击在战术上没有成功,但在战略上恢复了其国内和地区信誉,并提高了与伊朗开战的风险。伊朗的长期防御战略依赖于导弹、无人机和地区代理人。伊朗可能会改变其核政策,以应对其认为的生存威胁。以色列单方面袭击伊朗核设施可能会导致美国卷入战争,甚至可能导致俄罗斯和中国参与其中。中东地区的冲突可能以不可预测的方式升级。

Hezbollah, significantly weakened by Israel's military operations, including the assassination of its leader Hassan Nasrallah, failed to retaliate as expected. This emboldened Israel to invade Lebanon. However, Iran surprised many by launching a massive missile attack on Israel, marking a significant escalation in the conflict.
  • Israel launched a series of successful military operations against Hezbollah, culminating in the assassination of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
  • Iran surprised many by retaliating with a large-scale missile attack on Israel.
  • The U.S. provided support to Israel by helping to intercept some of the missiles.

Shownotes Transcript

Israel’s series of military successes against its longtime adversary Hezbollah had raised the question of whether the militant group’s backer, Iran, would retaliate. On Tuesday, that question was answered, when Iran fired a barrage of missiles at Israel.

Patrick Kingsley, the Jerusalem bureau chief for The Times, and Farnaz Fassihi, The Times’s United Nations bureau chief, discuss how they see events developing from here.
