The confrontation between Iran and Israel… where to?

After the dangerous escalation caused by the targeted Israeli strike in the heart of Iran, which occurred for the first time on this scale and in a form different from the previous one, and it was a response to Iran’s attack on it several weeks ago, which entered the region into a very critical phase of the conflict, and presents multiple scenarios and many possibilities for a future confrontation between them. After Israel destroyed Iran’s arms in Gaza and Lebanon, and weakened its ability to assign its agents to skirmish in Tel Aviv.
This largely undeclared and silent war has become public and turned into a direct war. Satellite images have shown that the Israeli attack on Iran caused severe damage to facilities at the Parchin military base, southeast of Tehran, a site linked to Iran’s former nuclear weapons program. This is in two separate assessments by researchers based on satellite images, according to Reuters and the Associated Press.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expressed its condemnation of the military targeting against Iran, and considered it “a violation of its sovereignty and a violation of international laws and norms.” Similar condemnations were issued by Arab countries, stressing the need to exercise “the highest levels of self-restraint and work to stop the escalation.”
Military solutions will not achieve stability and security in the region, and the inability of the international community to implement its decisions helps Israel persist in its colonial policies, which exacerbates the cycle of violence and hinders the chances of sustainable peace. Even if the international community discusses solutions to this war,
But Israel insists on military escalation, despite regional, international and international warnings about the continuation of its military operations in the Gaza Strip and the ground incursions into Lebanese territory, in addition to the repeated raids on the capital, Beirut. Israeli aircraft have launched air strikes on a number of military sites in the Iranian capital, Tehran. And the Syrian capital, Damascus, with dozens of aircraft.
Israel has been waging wars for decades, and this time it is trying to expand its circle, taking advantage of the volatile and unstable international situation due to the economic crises after Corona and the Russian-Ukrainian war with unlimited American and Western support for it. This portends an expansion of the circle of war in the region, and the coming days are full of surprises and escalation between Iran and its axis. Which caused great damage.
