'Any Israeli strike inside Iran will take this risk,' said one regional security analyst. 'If Iran’s general deterrence goes down, we are at risk of the weaponisation of Iran’s nuclear programme'

'Any Israeli strike inside Iran will take this risk,' said one regional security analyst. 'If Iran’s general deterrence goes down, we are at risk of the weaponisation of Iran’s nuclear programme'Iran does not appear to have changed its nuclear posture for now, said Dr Raz Zimmt, a security analyst and Iran researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv.

“If Israel responds, Iran’s response would be to use more advanced and strategic weapons,” he said, noting the fatwa issued by Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khameni against nuclear weapons. Iran claims the programme is for civilian purposes.

“Any sort of Israeli strike inside Iran will take this risk,” he said. “If it causes major damage to Iran’s conventional capabilities, or weakens it in a way that seems to be unrepairable, or puts Iran in a position of constant threats of airstrikes into its territory, then we are in a really dangerous moment… that may push the country towards rethinking its deterrence posture.
