Behind the Iran’s drone attack on Israel in retaliation after the offensive on its Consulate in Damascusmany countries fear an escalation due to Israel’s possible response.

Yago Rodríguez, director of ‘The political room’, explains that, from a strategic point of view, Both Israel and Hamas are interested in an escalation of the conflict.. In this way, Netanyahu would seek “his political survival” from him in addition to “offering something to the Israeli audience.” For its part, Hamas “is interested in getting Iran involved so that it supports it and has a more powerful ally in the war,” explains Rodríguez.

Since the Iranian attack last Saturdaydifferent countries have reacted and They have asked for “containment”. As the director of ‘The political room’ assures, in general, “all countries in the world are interested in seeing this conflict lessen.” Furthermore, he highlights that Egypt would be the country most interested in having had the “Suez Canal interrupted for a couple of months.” He also adds Europe, dependent on fuel prices, and also China and even the United States.

There were more than 300 projectiles launched into Israeli territory. What they launched the most were drones, 170 drones; along with 120 ballistic missiles and 36 cruise missiles. Almost all of them were intercepted before reaching Israeli territory.

For Rodríguez, “this is the figure that the Iranians made sure they exceeded and did not look bad,” but he insists that “possibly they wanted more missiles to overcome the iron dome and hit, above all, certain air bases that Israel has. “.
