Cairo: Hani Kamal El-Din
“We’re a bit in the ‘one everywhere, ball in the center’ mode”estimated on franceinfo Sébastien Boussois, researcher specializing in the Middle East after several explosions were reported early in the morning of Friday April 19 in central Iran and senior American officials reported an Israeli attack in retaliation for the drone and missile attacks against Israel on Saturday April 13.
“A form of fool’s game”, even “if the situation was not dramatic, a form of commedia dell’arte”underlined the specialist to the extent that “Israel had planned, had warned to strike Iran to probably do it before Passover”, which begins Monday evening. If the Israeli and Iranian leaders did not react to the attack, both sides “shows fangs” All “knowing that there would be no major damage”.
The Fars news agency reported three explosions near a military base in the center of the country, near Isfahan. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed that there is no “no damage” on Iranian nuclear sites. According to Sébastien Boussois, “the aim was to clearly show that Israel knows that things are happening in Natanz and in the province of Isfahan”. The Islamic Republic’s known nuclear sites are located in the center of the country, including the Natanz uranium enrichment plant. “If it comes from Israel, that means that the problem is still fundamental for the Jewish state and that the Iranian threat would consist, essentially, of this concern around nuclear power”he stressed.
