Brinkmanship in West Asia

Israel and Iran should be persuaded to back off from a dangerous war that could be a drag on global peace and prosperity

Over the weekend, Israel launched waves of aerial strikes on Iran, initially hitting Tehran's nuclear facilities and military leadership and subsequently targeting energy facilities. Iran has retaliated with its own missile strikes across Israel.

The promise of detente in West Asia has died with the Iran-Israel conflict entering a new and deadly phase. Israel's attacks came at a time when Iran and the US were engaged in crucial negotiations on the future of Tehran's nuclear programme, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has contended the open-ended military action was necessary to "roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival".
