Likelihood of change in policy against Iran low after Israel elections

Following the results of the recently held elections in Israel, there appears to be little possibility of any change in Israel's policy against Iran. According to a report by France 24, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may face more limitations as Israel's interim Prime Minister, but experts believe he may still hold significant powers, including the authority to wage war against Iran.

No clear winner has emerged between Netanyahu's group and the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot during the extensive counting process. In this context, Tehran has stated that the election result will make no difference. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned in a post on X that any military adventure by Israel in the Persian Gulf region could have a devastating impact on international markets.

According to a report by The Hindu, Iran has warned that it will respond extensively to any new attacks by Israel. Iran's security chief Mohsen Rezaee stated that they could also attack US-related infrastructure. On the other hand, the Wall Street Journal reported that Washington has told Gulf Arab countries to be prepared for a potential military campaign against Iran after America's midterm elections on 3 November, although President Donald Trump has not yet taken any final decision.
