Tensions between Iran and Israel have escalated, with the recent Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon and Iran's missile attacks on Israel. Israel is now considering a more direct and forceful strike on Iran, targeting sensitive areas like oil production sites, military bases, and nuclear facilities. Iran's oil industry, concentrated in the western part of the country, could be a key target for Israel. Disrupting these facilities could impact Iran's economy and global oil markets, especially with Iran producing about 3% of the world's oil supply. President Biden's comments on supporting a strike on Iran's oil infrastructure led to a spike in oil prices. While Israel views Iran's nuclear program as a threat, there are no immediate plans to target nuclear facilities. The difficulty of attacking deeply underground sites without U.S. assistance poses a challenge. Experts suggest that even if Iran accelerates its nuclear efforts, it would take months to a year to develop a nuclear weapon. Israel's powerful air force could be used for long-distance attacks on Iran, similar to recent strikes in Yemen. However, Iran's robust air defenses present a significant obstacle. Israel may also have other options, such as medium and intermediate-range ballistic missiles, to target Iran from a distance. Overall, the potential for a direct Israeli attack on Iran raises concerns about the escalation of conflict between the two nations and the broader implications for the region.
