**[U.S.-Iran Conflict Remains Restrained and Rational, Three Scenarios Where Israel May Deeply Intervene]**
BlockBeats News, July 20 – The renewed U.S.-Iran conflict has persisted for several days, but both sides have so far maintained restraint and rationality. U.S. actions have primarily focused on targets related to the Strait of Hormuz, while launching limited attacks on "soft" national infrastructure such as bridges and railways. Iran, in turn, has responded by attacking U.S. targets in the region, including those in Jordan and Saudi Arabia, but has yet to directly target Israel.
Both sides currently adhere to an unspoken boundary: the U.S. avoids striking Iran's major national infrastructure, while Iran refrains from expanding its actions to Israeli territory. Analysts believe there is no clear answer as to when the current conflict will end. However, three main factors could potentially drive Israel to intervene in the future:
First, an expansion of U.S. strikes. If U.S. forces attack Iran's nuclear facilities or ballistic missile programs, including significant targets previously untouched in the conflict, such as "Pickaxe Mountain," it could prompt Iran to escalate its retaliation.
Second, an escalation due to misjudgment. Either Israel or Iran might attempt to gain an advantage through sudden actions, triggering a broader confrontation.
Third, Israel may proactively seize a military opportunity to strike Iran's nuclear facilities and missile capabilities, aiming to achieve the military objectives left unfulfilled by Operation "Roaring Lion."
Analysts point out that Iran currently has no intention of deliberately dragging Israel into the conflict, as it is well aware of the military capabilities of the Israel Defense Forces and Air Force. The general consensus is that the confrontation between Iran, the U.S., and regional countries will continue, marking just another phase in a long-term geopolitical struggle.
