Both Iran and Israel are at fault for continuing to strike each other despite the ceasefire agreement brokered by President Trump.

“When you have a freaking deal, both of them need to stop. Both people need to stop. Israel's at fault and Iran's at fault. Especially when the guy is trying to end it when he's trying to end it.”

Krystal Ball asserts that Israeli actions are primarily driven by a goal to achieve regional hegemony rather than nuclear security concerns.

“That's what the Israelis and their allies and the neocons want to see so that there is no challenge to complete and total Israeli hegemony in the region. That is the goal. That has always been the goal.”

Saagar Enjeti believes that the conflict has incentivized Iran to pursue nuclear weapons as a survival mechanism.

“If again like the logic of shelter, you know, shelter in place, bunker down, build as many ballistic missiles and sprint to a nuke has literally never made more sense.”
