Iran’s barrage of attacks against Israel represents a stark reminder of how the US has been unable to ameliorate tensions in the Middle East and contain the ongoing conflict in Gaza, a national security and foreign policy expert told Business Insider.
President Joe Biden told reporters on Friday that he expected Iran to attack Israel “sooner, rather than later.”
Iran’s brazen dismissal of Biden’s warning may be the result of a series of inconsistent strategic moves from the US with its handling of the Israel-Gaza war, Sean McFate, a national security and foreign policy expert at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship & Public Affairs, told Business Insider.
McFate told BI that Iran’s retaliation was a way to show the international stage that the country had a backbone after Israel’s airstrike in Damascus.
Biden similarly stated that Hamas was trying to disrupt his administration’s efforts to normalize ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia, as well as with others in the region, The Washington Post reported.
In a Saturday statement after Iran’s strikes, Biden condemned the attacks and said he had spoken with Netanyahu over the phone to say that the US remains steadfast in its support for Israel.
