Israel Putters into Crisis, + Zelensky Arrives at Final Curtain Call Simplicius Sep 23, 2024 simplicius76.substack.com Avoiding the Escalatory Trap: Managing Escalation during the Israel-Hamas War publications.armywarcollege.edu "However, as Israel’s strike against the IRGC in Syria suggests, there may be room for attacks against Iranian assets without risking regional escalation. Whether doing so would have an enduring deterrent effect is unclear. However, the decreasing cycle of violence after April’s attack suggests Tehran is prepared to accept more risk outside its territory than inside, as evidenced by its response to Haniyeh’s killing.
