A Chinese military commentary argues that a renewed Israeli military strike on Iran is highly likely, especially in light of recent U.S. media reports. The piece suggests that Israel’s push toward conflict reflects not just strategic concerns over Iran’s nuclear program but also deep-rooted political troubles at home, particularly Prime Minister Netanyahu’s struggle to survive politically. Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump may not see greenlighting an Israeli attack as a contradiction to his self-image as a “peacemaker.”
The article, published by the WeChat account Southeast Asia Military Enthusiasts Club, cites a July 7 Axios report. According to the report, Israeli officials believe Trump would support a future military operation against Iran, especially if Tehran resumes key parts of its nuclear program. Discussions about Iran were reportedly a top agenda item when Trump and Netanyahu met privately for dinner in the U.S., with Netanyahu seeking alignment on possible future action and nuclear negotiations.
