"Israel destroyed its reputation in Gaza, and its attack on Iran is a late attempt to recover it" in the Guardian
The escalation of the conflict between Iran and Israel attracted the attention of international newspapers, as an article in the "Guardian" newspaper indicated that Israel's endeavor to regain support its allies by opening new fronts, while an article in the Wall Street Journal addressed the increase in divisions within the Iranian regime. A Chinese newspaper warned of the escalation of a "revenge" vortex and the possibility of a regional war.
We open our tour of the newspapers with an article published by the British Guardian newspaper by the writer Nisreen Malik. The author sees that there are two views of events in the Middle East during the past year and a half.
The first considers Israel's response to the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, "a revenge beyond the legal and geographical borders, which included extermination in Gaza, the invasion of southern Lebanon, the occupation of areas in Syria and attacks on Iran."
As for the other opinion, according to the writer, he believes that these events are part of a historical continuity, as regional peace was based on a "fragile" position of collapse.
Malik notes that this accurate balance collapsed due to "an Israeli government focused on implementing its own agenda, and reformulates the future of the region on its own with methods that cannot be interpreted and does not seek to control it."

The article states that one of the factors of "fragile" peace lies in the role of the Gulf states as mediators, and Malik explains that the Gulf rapprochement with Iran was not out of trade or sympathy, but rather as a result of a practical need for stability.
She adds that some Gulf states recognized Israel by signing the Abrahamic agreements, but they now find themselves besieging two disputed parties, and are subject to the Israeli main ally of Israel, the United States, which has close military and economic relations.
Looking at the war in Gaza, the writer believes that the events revealed "Israel's intentions to the world", which prompted "Iran and its agents, such as Hezbollah and the Houthis in Yemen", to adopt the role of defenders of Palestinian rights. And it confirms that once Iran involves in this context, Israel's feeling that it is able to act without hesitation or accountability is no longer room for decline.
In the context of the analysis, the author believes that the justifications for Israel's actions "exceeded all reasonable borders." Given the safety of the Jewish people as a reason for absolute support, and the importance of Israel as a close strategic partner, the United States and its allies gave Israel absolute freedom to defend itself, according to the article.
On the other hand, Malik notes that the Israeli response "was not only the exaggeration in the face of threats, but also turned these responses into a weapon that has become a major factor in destabilizing its security and the security of the rest of the region."
In her article, the writer states that Israel's relationship with her allies was tested by Gaza, especially with the escalation of popular pressure within Western countries, "paid with pictures of hungry children, burning hospitals and the shelves of successive bodies."
Opening a new front with another enemy that gives the Israeli government an opportunity to restore support for its care and confirm its role as "an innocent victim in need of assistance due to the civil strikes from a host of Maad," according to the article.
Malik notes that the stories of death in Gaza and the attacks on the West Bank and the expansion of illegal settlements disappeared from the addresses, pressure on Israel to allow aid and respect for the ceasefire, replaced the "loose" defenses and the usual calls for "restraint", as if the hour was re -seized.
The writer believes that Israel was inspired by the Iraq war lessons, claiming that it has acted in defense based on intelligence information asking the world to accept with confidence.
The writer concludes her article by saying that the "propaganda and field" campaign is involved in the Middle East vision as an inner policy square. But it confirms that the region is not the property of Israel alone, but rather is the homes of other peoples with their policies, history and special security needs, which are increasingly subject to the agenda of Israel only, according to what was stated in the article.
"The Ayatollah regime in Iran is weaker than ever."
John Bolton wrote an article in the American newspaper "Wall Street Journal", in which he confirmed that Iran's response to the "rising lion" operation that targeted its nuclear program, its air defenses and its military leadership was "varying and ineffective." He added that the Third World War did not erupt, and it will not erupt as some promote.
The writer believes that the only way to ensure a peaceful peace and security in the Middle East is to overthrow the "Ayatollah" system, and that this should be the primary goal of America.
The article indicates that the regime in Tehran faces increasing popular discontent, as the opposition extends to all parts of Iran. He also believes that the Iranian economy has been experiencing for decades for decades, and the writer believes that Israeli strikes on oil refineries have exacerbated his economic situation.
Bolton adds that the Iranian regime only brought "destruction" to its people, and that it has spent billions on the support of its "terrorist" agents in addition to large nuclear and missile projects that are no longer feasible.
The article indicates that more than 60% of the Iranians under the age of 30 are looking for a different life from what the regime imposes, inspired by the Gulf states such as the Emirates. All ethnic minorities in Iran are also seeking more independence.
The writer believes that the Israeli attacks did not lead to an "Iranian national impulsion", noting that the Iranian people are aware of the size of the risks. Pointing out that after the fall of Assad in Syria, the regime witnessed wide internal conflicts that extended to the general public, and these divisions are expected to expand more at the present time, according to the article.
The writer emphasizes that the American and Israeli forces will not implement a "land invasion of Iran", criticizing those who promote the idea that uniting the ranks at the Iranian interior, and supporting Iranian opponents of the mullahs means "endless war," considering this just random propaganda.
The article indicates that Iran is led by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who is eighty years old and suffers from illness, without a clear caliph. Although his son appears to be interested in assuming the position, he does not have a wide popular acceptance, according to the writer.
Bolton notes that "there is no clear or firm path to the caliphate, and internal chaos will increase the difficulty of the matter," adding that Israel's targeting of prominent leaders in the Iranian army has increased the state of "confusion", as he put it.
The writer calls for the exploitation of the current crisis to deepen the divisions within the leadership of the Iranian regime, noting that if prominent figures in the regular army and the Revolutionary Guards declare their refusal to suppress the people, this may lead to a rapid fall of the regime.
He also believes that submitting amnesty to regime officials who turn against the leadership may be an effective way to support the unity of the opposition and enhance its position, according to the writer.
The Middle East lives "critical stage"
In the editorial of the Chinese China Daily newspaper, we read the need for all parties to move to defuse the crisis, noting that the Middle East is going through a "critical" stage after the Israeli attacks on Iran.
The newspaper believes that these attacks "ignited a dangerous cycle of revenge, and increased the possibility of the outbreak of a regional war." The newspaper also highlighted the speed and clarity of the Chinese position, confirming that Beijing's commitment to calm the situation and promoting peace and stability in the region.
The editorial stated that China strongly condemns the Israeli military attacks, considering it "a flagrant violation of Iran's sovereignty and international law."
The newspaper notes that the escalation caused by long -term hostility threatens a widespread regional war with catastrophic consequences, noting that Israel's coordination with the United States and its threats to Iran has increased tension.
The editorial confirms China's support for all efforts aimed at calming tension and returning to the dialogue table, calling on Israel and Iran to respond to the calls of the international community and prevail in diplomacy to power. It indicates that the historical experience proves that permanent peace is only built through comprehensive political paths.
The newspaper reported that, during an emergency session of the UN Security Council, China called on all parties to avoid provocative actions, and renewed its support for the creation of a nuclear weapons -free area in the Middle East.
In its analysis, the newspaper believes that the United States must intensify its efforts to pressure Tel Aviv to stop its "reckless" actions, noting that the continuation of the conflict may soon lead or later the United States is drawn into a war with Iran, which is believed to be Israel's main goal.
The newspaper concludes by saying that due to the seriousness of the situation in the Middle East, the coordination of diplomatic efforts, such as those made by China, has become necessary to defuse this tense and flammable crisis.
