The global geopolitical tension over Iran is escalating, with Israel and its Western allies pursuing a strategy of aggression and containment. This article argues that the aggression against Iran is not driven by a desire for democratization or human rights, but by a strategic goal to dismantle the Islamic Republic’s sovereignty and eliminate its ability to shape the regional agenda. While Iran remains resilient and continues to assert its agency, the risks of escalation are significant, and a balance must be struck between strategic deterrence and diplomatic engagement. As tensions rise, the potential for catastrophic consequences looms large, underscoring the need for a nuanced and careful approach to this complex issue.
