Israel strike wey happen for inside Iran break 40 year taboo

Iran rush to bring di impact of Israel strike for inside  dem territory suggest say dem don find way to avoid bigger war, but di attack don set before wey di Islamic Republic don dey try avoid since e start 40 years ago.

Di adversaries don spend decades dey avoid direct confrontation, instead dem dey choose to dey exchange punches for shadow war.

Israel don use secret operations to kill di key Iranian figures and carry out cyberattacks for important facilities as Iran dey continue to activate im Arab proxy militias to attack di Jewish state.

Di attack wey happen on Saturday na di first time wey Israel don acknowledge say dem strike Iran, bring di shadow war come out for open and cross di threshold wey don make some pipo for di Islamic Republic dey question di country’s force capabilities.

In April, afta Iran attack Israel bicos dem say na pay back for wetin dem talk say na Israeli attack on dem diplomatic building for Syrian capital Damascus, US officials talk say Israel respond by attacking Iran just few days later.

Israel no talk say dem do dat attack publicly.

Di latest attack, however, different. Israel openly talk say dem carry out “precise strikes” on military targets for Iran.

“Israel don get beta material for freedom dey to operate for Iran now,” Israel military spokesman Daniel Hagari talk, dey boast about wetin dem achieve for di attack.

Small ting afta di assault, Iran state media publish images wey show say everyday life dey continue as usual for dem cities.

Schools still dey operate and Tehran streets dey show say traffic dey gridlocked.

Hardline commentators dey mock di attack for television and social media memes dey make fun of di limited nature of di Israeli response.

Internal debate don show

For him first talk afta di attack, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei come choose to give measured response, e talk say di strikes no suppose “be too much or too small.”

But dat first wave of dismissal later fade away, and internal debate don start whether Iran suppose give strong response to stop Israeli strikes make e no become normal against regime wey dey focus on him own survival.

Di strikes, wey be response to one Iranian attack on Israel three weeks ago, no touch nuclear and oil facilities instead dem strike wetin di Israeli military describe as “strategic systems for Iran” wey get “great importance.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu talk say Iran’s defense systems and di ability to export missiles don suffer serious damage.  Even CNN no fit verify di claims by demself.

Iranian officials talk say some military sites get “minor damage” wey dem don “quickly repair.”

Five pipo die, including four army personnel, di Iranian government talk.

Experts sabi say di damage wey happen pass wetin Tehran don talk.

Dis (attack) na more serious damage pass wetin Iranian officials don show, Iran air defenses and some of di radars wey dey important to take identify di missiles wey di come in.

E be like say dem don destroy am for di first wave,” Nicole Grajewski, wey be fellow for di Nuclear Policy Program for di Carnegie Endowment for International Peace talk.

Tehran don spend years to build regional forces wey dem design to serve as security umbrella and di first line of defense against Israel.

Dis military, wey dey for Israel borders, dey also act as deterrent, wey dey discourage Israel from direct attack Iran.

Di idea na say if Israel go strike Iran, Tehran go retaliate by unleashing im militias against Israel.

Di long time balance of power no allow regional war until Iran backed Hamas come attack Israel from Gaza last year, kill 1,200 pipo and carry more than 250 hostages.

Dat one make Israel start serious attack wey don destroy di area and kill more than 42,000 Palestinians.

Di way di fight spread go southern Lebanon make Israel kill Hassan Nasrallah, di leader of Hezbollah, wey be Iran strongest force, and scatter di organization’s top pipo.

Di way wey Iran strongest allied militaryd, Hamas and Hezbollah, dey degrade, plus di weekend strikes on Iran, don cause anodir internal wahala for Iran: whedir regional proxies fit be effective deterrence.

“E get plenty voices for di political establishment wey dey question di effectiveness of di ‘forward defense’ doctrine, or di idea say Iran’s regional alliance fit provide security umbrella.

If dat one dey change, one natural aspect of di debate na wetin fit happen to restore deterrence,” Mohammad Ali Shabani, di editor of Amwaj.media, wey be London-based news site wey focus on Iran, Iraq and di Arabian Peninsula.

Di nuclear option 

Since Trump government don waka comot from nuclear agreement wit Tehran for 2018.

To put limit for im nuclear program, di Islamic Republic don dey gradually increase di enrichment of uranium, wey be key ingredient of nuclear bomb if e pure well-well.

Dem stockpile don reach 60 percent purity, wey be small step away from weapons-grade, wey be 90 percent.

Iranian officials don talk plenty times say dem no get intention to turn di country nuclear program to weapon, while dem dey use di potential as leverage for negotiation wit di West.

As Israel dey continue to scatter Iran’s instructor capability, di minority voices for di Islamic Republic wey dey support weaponization of im nuclear program dey grow stronger, Parsi talk.

“Di way wey things dey go and di energy dey wit pipo wey dey talk say if Iran get nuclear deterrence, dis kind thing no go happen.

Experts dey doubt if Iran fit build nuclear weapon quick even if dem fit purify uranium to weapons grade. Di process to build and test atomic bomb fit take years, wey go make Iran vulnerable to Israeli attack on dem nuclear facilities.

Di nuclear bomb option dey “much more public now” and don become “normal for conversation,” but Israel don fit scatter Iran nuclear program before and fit still do am again, Grajewski talk.

Parsi talk say if di Israelis go strike Iran nuclear facilities, no matter if di Iranians fit get bomb quick or not, Tehran go still wan build nuclear weapon.

“Even di American presidents wey dey more hawkish no dey favor military strikes bicos di most likely outcome be say, at some point, dat go make Iran turn nuclear,” Parsi talk.
