Israel's Evolving Iran Policy/ Dalia Dassa Kaye - 2020

Iran's nuclear ambitions have consumed Israeli decisionmakers for decades. Another grave concern is what Israelis perceive as Iran's growing political and military influence in the region, particularly in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq. From the Israeli perspective, Iran's expanding missile capacity and network of non-state militia partners pose a grave threat. Iran's past support for terrorist attacks within Israel itself and against Israelis abroad, combined with inflammatory rhetoric expressing the intention to 'wipe Israel off the map', further elevates the Iranian menace in the Israeli psyche.
