  2. Damascus strike is a severe Israeli miscalculation

    Erik’s assessmentActive conflictIsrael and Iran

    That now seems like a severe miscalculation: Israel failed to recognize that Iran's decision-making - like Israel's own - is influenced by hardliners who will reliably demand retribution at least as severe as the offense it avenges.

    Israel failed to account for hard-line pressure within Iranian decision-making and the resulting demand for retaliation.
