The impact of the US-Israeli air strikes should not be underestimated. But only Israel, hardened by decades of struggle for survival, is prepared to accept high costs. The Europeans are out of the picture, Trump’s voters are growing impatient, America’s allies in the Gulf have repeatedly been left defenceless. The Iranian regime has not yet lost.”
