Arab News reported this Wednesday that if Israel carries out a retaliatory attack against Iran, the move could be the beginning of the end of the US-led world order.
In an analytical report published this Wednesday, Arab News wrote that a retaliatory attack by Israel against Iran could very well result in an all-out war in the region. This, the report said, could mark the beginning of the end of the US-led world order.
“A direct face-off with Tehran, one that Netanyahu deliberately started by bombing the Iranian consulate in Damascus in April and then assassinating Hamas’ political chief, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran at the end of July, has triggered two massive responses from Iran, the last of which Israel has said to retaliate soon with a direct military attack against Iran,” the report said.
Explaining why the attack by Israel could have such a profound effect that can challenge the US-led world order, the report wrote that “the geopolitical realities of today’s world will cast a shadow over this evolving crisis. Russia, China, and North Korea see Iran as an ally in a world where the US-led world order is on the brink of collapse. Iran is unlikely to be abandoned by such allies. A strike on Iran would threaten the global energy markets and hasten the rise of what Vladimir Putin is calling for a multipolar world.”
Calling the Israeli strike against Iran “a final blow to a US-led world order”, the report also said that it has already been severely compromised by none other than Netanyahu.
“No one in their right mind could accept a scenario where the world goes back to business as usual and normality once Israel finishes the people of Gaza, annexes the West Bank, and triggers a regional war that could easily spill over,” said the report.
The report also noted that Netanyahu’s endless wars will shift the current geopolitical paradigm, but the outcome “will weaken rather than strengthen Israel”.
