The world is on the brink of the Third World War, where Russia, North Korea, China and Iran are part of the "axis of evil". And the latter are the weakest link that the US could easily knock out, the Telegraph writes.
However, the United States follows a policy of appeasement that did not work in the 1930s and will not do so now, the journalists believe. In their opinion, due to such passivity of the USA, Iran will soon get nuclear weapons and use them against Israel, provoking a "thousand-year conflict".
Journalists believe that Iran's attack on Israel is not an act of retaliation, but an actual declaration of war on another country. And the West should not convince Israel not to retaliate, but instead demonstrate strength.
According to the Telegraph, Biden should create a coalition that includes as many of Iran's Arab neighbors as possible, impose tough sanctions, allow Israel to "finish" Hamas and help strike Hezbollah. However, the US leadership has a different opinion.
“America has no meaningful long-term plan to contain Tehran or destroy Hamas, the Houthis or Hezbollah. Or the de-radicalization of the Palestinian territories to ensure that, over time, a new leadership emerges that is prepared to recognize the existence of Israel, paving the way for a viable two-state solution," the Telegraph writes.
Summing up, the journalists note that in this way the West wants to avoid any direct conflicts so much that it is ready to turn a blind eye to almost everything. However, when someone seeks peace at any price, it inevitably ends in war.
The Iranian-Israeli conflict: what is known
On the night of April 14, Iran announced the start of Operation True Promise and launched a large number of missiles and drones at Israel. The Israel Defense Forces said it, along with its allies, had shot down almost all aerial targets. In particular, 120 ballistic and 30 cruise missiles, as well as more than 170 unmanned aerial vehicles.
After that, it became known that Israel is preparing a retaliatory strike against Iran. According to the Jerusalem Post, the Israel Defense Forces have decided how they will retaliate against Iran, but have not yet determined the timing.
