There is a fine line between changing Iran and emboldening Israel's extremists
There is simply no credible way to believe that Israel is waging the current war against Iran all by itself, or that the US's role is limited to striking three nuclear sites over the weekend. The distance, the military imbalance and the geopolitical stakes make it clear: this war is being waged with deep western support, both militarily and through intelligence co-operation. And the objective? It appears military is no longer limited to reining in the Iranian nuclear programme. It's about reshaping the power dynamics within Iran itself. However, western powers would be playing with fire if backing this war is without a strategy for what comes after, as it means empowering a generation of hardliners in Israel, with many already embedded in its far-right government. It's true that Iran's defences, meticulously built since the end of the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, are being dismantled. Hezbollah no longer holds sway. The new Syrian government has shifted course. Iraqi militias have their hands tied. A glance at the map shows how exposed Iran now is, with its cities vulnerable, its buffer zones dismantled. Losing Syria as an ally was a decisive blow. Smuggling routes were cut. Border bases with Israel were lost. Syrian air space opened to Israeli jets. Syria, in effect, became a Trojan horse in this war. Now, western powers, especially in Europe, the UK and the US, see an opening to break Iran's regional hegemony. The demand for Tehran to completely halt uranium enrichment is one of the clearest signs that key European countries, for example, are shifting their positions to align themselves with Israel's escalating campaign. But Israel's war isn't a war for peace. It appears to be a campaign of revenge, fuelled by the illusion that Iran can somehow be fully controlled once broken. Figures like Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, two extremist ministers already sanctioned by European governments, are capitalising on this moment. If Iran falls, they won't just claim that they have rewritten that country's future; they will reshape Israeli politics for years to come. The balance of power inside Israel could shift decisively to the far right, giving these ministers greater political weight, bigger parties and more control over policy. The fallout would be catastrophic. The same Israeli government now accused of war crimes in Gaza and beyond would feel vindicated and unleashed. There would be no restraint. Their agenda of expansion, annexation and ultra-nationalism would surge forward, cloaked in the glow of their military successes. This is one of the region's greatest current risks: an emboldened, extremist-led Israeli state driving the Middle East into years – possibly decades – of instability. For Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this war is personal. Despite having dominated Israeli politics for decades, he wants to erase his legacy of corruption, strategic failure and the October 7 catastrophe. He wants history to remember him not as the prime minister who failed to protect 1,200 Israelis from the Hamas-led attacks, but as the man who broke Iran. His legacy today lies in Tehran. Now the West must confront a sobering question: who is it really helping reshape the region? Because if Israel's extremists are allowed to dictate what comes next, this will not be a short war. It will be a new order: chaotic, bloody and boundless. There is a moral obligation for western governments backing this campaign to ensure that those they empower today cannot determine Israel's course tomorrow. Many Arab states have already warned of the perilous line the West is walking. But history suggests western strategy in this region rarely looks beyond the next headline. And if no one changes course, tomorrow could make today look like a warning shot by comparison.

Oil Prices Hit Five-Month High After US Strikes on Iran
Oil prices rose to a five-month high on Monday, June 23, after the US struck Iran's nuclear sites over the weekend. Brent, the benchmark for two-thirds of the world's oil, rose by 0.48 per cent to $77.38 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate increased by 0.50 percent to $74.21 per barrel. In early trading, Brent's price spiked by 5.7 percent to $81.40, which is its highest level since January this year. Iran's state-owned media cited a legislator on Sunday, June 22, revealing that the country's parliament agreed to close the Strait of Hormuz, which is the gateway to almost a fifth of the world's daily oil output. However, the country's national security council is yet to make a final decision, according to the report. If this were to happen, oil prices could skyrocket to $150 a barrel, according to analysts. On the same day, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio requested that China stop Iran from closing the strait since China is Iran's key oil importer. The war between Iran and Israel began on Friday, June 13, which led to an escalation of attacks between the two countries, closure of air spaces, cancellation of flights, and extensive evacuations.

Israel bombs Tehran prison as Iranian missiles disrupt power supply
Israel and Iran exchanged heavy strikes on Monday in one of the most intense days of the conflict since the Israeli military launched an offensive against the Islamic Republic more than a week ago. The Israeli military said it carried out wide-ranging attacks on 'regime targets' in Tehran, including sites tied to Iran's internal security apparatus, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the Evin Prison, which holds prominent political dissidents. Iran's Nour news agency reported that the detainees were safe. Iranian state and semi-official media reported that an electricity feeder station was hit in northern Tehran, leading to localised blackouts. The Qom province's crisis centre confirmed that Israel also targeted the Fordow nuclear facility, the most fortified nuclear sites in Iran, already struck by the US air force a day earlier. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters The Israeli military said the attack was meant to block access routes to the site. The Iranian people will never forgive or forget US-Israeli attacks Read More » Iranian student media also reported a strike at Shahid Beheshti University. The air strike came shortly after a barrage of Iranian missiles that triggered sirens across Israel for over 30 minutes on Monday morning. Explosions were heard throughout the country, caused either by direct missile impacts or interceptor defences. Israeli authorities reported damage "near a strategic infrastructure facility" in the south, which disrupted power supply. However, military censorship restricts public disclosure, leaving the full extent of the Iranian strikes unclear. Search and rescue teams were deployed to multiple locations where missile impacts were confirmed, though no casualties were reported. Iran seeks Russia's help As exchanges of fire escalated, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi flew to Moscow and met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to Reuters, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had dispatched Araghchi to Moscow to deliver a message to Putin personally. In a press conference in Moscow attended by Putin and Aragchi, the Russian president condemned Israel's attacks on Iran, saying: "Russia's position in supporting Iran is clear. We reject the Israeli aggression, and it has no justification whatsoever." Putin added that Russia "was trying to help the people of Iran", although he did not give any details of what assistance Russia would provide to Tehran. Iranian sources told Reuters that Tehran is frustrated with the lack of robust Russian support and is seeking a stronger commitment in the face of intensifying Israeli and US actions. The Iranian foreign minister, speaking to Russia's Tass agency, said Tehran and Moscow were 'coordinating their positions' on the current crisis. Since 13 June, Israeli strikes in Iran have killed at least 430 people and wounded 3,500, according to health officials. Independent sources suggest the death toll could be much higher. Meanwhile, Iranian missile attacks have killed at least 25 people and wounded 2,500, according to Israeli officials.
