middle east There has been tension in the region for a long time, but recent developments have made the situation more serious. Amidst the increasing military confrontation between Iran and Israel, drone attacks and the activism of proxy groups, the question has started to arise whether ‘base war’ i.e. a war targeting military bases has started in the region. Experts believe that if this conflict continues to escalate like this, it may impact the security of the entire Middle East and global politics. Know what war experts and foreign affairs experts say.
Defeat and victory will be decided by base war – Amardeep Tyagi
When asked whether a ‘base war’ has started in the Middle East, retired Lieutenant Colonel Amardeep Tyagi of the Indian Army said that Iran has no land border between America and Israel. This attack is taking place because Israel is suspicious of Iran’s intentions. He considers him his enemy. Iran is emphasizing on nuclear and missile programs. This is also the reason for the conflict between the two.
He further said that as far as calling it a base war is concerned, when there is no land border between the two, then it is certain that they will destroy each other’s military, energy, airports and other strategic bases. This is done to break the morale of the enemy country and force it to accept its conditions. This time Iran is giving competition to America and Israel in an unexpected way, which is shocking. In such attacks, the targets are the bases of enemy countries.
For the first time after 8 decades, someone attacked an American base – Alune
Foreign affairs expert Brahmadeep Alune says that till now both the sides are targeting each other’s targets only. Therefore it would be appropriate to call it base war. However, America and Israel have carried out bomb and missile attacks on Iran’s nuclear and missile sites as well as residential areas.
In response, Iran is also continuously attacking Israel and America’s military bases and their important bases. The surprising thing is that this is the first time after World War II that a country like Iran has attacked American military bases. That too, not just one or two, but American targets in many countries. Whereas even Russia never attacked the American base. Nor has America directly attacked the Russian base.
Not being able to stop China is dangerous for America
To avoid this situation, former US President Barack Obama had emphasized on the Indo Pacific Ocean. So that it is possible to limit China to Asia. If this does not happen then its consequences will be very fatal for America. Also, Trump’s policies will be dealt a deep blow.
It is a different matter that Iran is moving towards destruction. This is because Iran used the country’s economy to accumulate weapons and increase its military capability. This is the reason why the war between Israel and Iran is being considered as a base war this time.
What is ‘Base War’?
‘Base War’ is a situation when two or more countries target each other’s military bases, airbases, naval bases or strategic bases instead of directly waging a large-scale war. Missiles, drones and long-range weapons are often used in this type of war. Its objective is to weaken the enemy’s military capability and eliminate its strategic advantage. There are military bases and foreign bases of many countries in the Middle East, so if the conflict increases, then this war is not limited only to the borders but can spread to the entire region.
Why is tension increasing between Iran and Israel?
The enmity between Iran and Israel is several decades old. Israel has long considered Iran’s nuclear program a threat to itself. Whereas Iran has been opposing Israel’s policies. Cyber attacks, drone attacks and covert military operations have increased between the two countries in recent years. Many times Israel has targeted targets linked to Iran, while Iran-backed groups have also been carrying out attacks against Israel. This increasing conflict has further increased security concerns in the entire region.
What role do proxy groups play in the conflict?
The role of proxy groups has been very important in the politics of the Middle East. Iran is often accused of supporting many armed organizations that are active against Israel.
These include organizations like Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Hamas active in the Gaza Strip and Yemen’s Houthi Movement. Attacks through these groups sometimes take the form of indirect conflict instead of direct war, due to which tension remains constant.
Are military bases in the Middle East becoming targets?
International affairs experts say that military bases and strategic targets have been targeted many times in recent attacks. This indicates that the conflict is gradually moving towards weakening the military capability. If this trend continues, airbases, naval bases and missile systems of different countries in the Middle East could become the center of major attacks in the future.
Due to the complex politics of the Middle East, there is a possibility of many countries getting involved in any major conflict. While Israel gets support from America, Iran is also considered to have many allies in the region. If attacks on military targets increase, this conflict could also take the form of a regional war. This can also have a big impact on international politics and global security.
Is the entire Middle East heading towards a major war?
At present, it is difficult to say whether this conflict will turn into a major war or not. But the way military activities and attacks are increasing, it is clear that the tension in the region has become more serious than before. If diplomatic efforts are not successful and military attacks continue, the scope of the conflict in the Middle East may increase further. This is why many analysts are seeing this situation as the first glimpse of a possible ‘base war’.
