Laith Marouf: This Fight Between Iran and Israel Will Reshape the Middle East.

Iran struck back effectively; Arab states insincere; Israel overplayed its hand.

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

1. What is your take on how Iran is responding to Israel?
2. How do you see the behavior of Arab states, Turkey, and others amid this confrontation?
3. Do you think Israel believed they could end Iran's nuclear program or trigger regime change?
4. Can Israel sustain a war of attrition with Iran?
5. What’s happening in Lebanon, and what is the main discussion there now?

Leith Marouf:

1. Iran was prepared for the attack and has effectively filled gaps in its military structure, executing crucial strikes against Israel.
2. Statements by Saudi, Qatari, and Emirati leaders condemning Israel are insincere; they actively support attacks on Iran through intelligence, funding, and logistics.
3. Israel likely overestimated its capabilities, believing their own propaganda, and failed to understand their limitations, leading them to attack Iran recklessly.
4. Israel cannot sustain a war of attrition; they rely heavily on Western air defense systems, which may only last 15 days under continuous Iranian attacks.
5. In Lebanon, people are celebrating Iran's retaliation, watching Iranian missiles strike Israeli targets, and the morale across the region is high despite ongoing Israeli aggression.
