The International community has been pushing for economic sanctions for Iran, hoping to pressure the leadership from within. While it significantly cuts funding to the regime, straining their ability to pursue their nuclear program, it may counterproductive. Economic strain may push more Iranians towards aligning with extremist. Furthermore, the intervention of proxy groups like Hezbollah into the conflict, “prepared strategically by Iran during the last six years by arming it with long range artillery and rockets, is meant to give a clear signal to the US, the West and Israel what would happen if serious international sanctions would be decided against Iran or if Iran’s nuclear facilities would be destroyed by an U.S. or Israeli attack." Evidence does not support that Iran will use nuclear weapons against Israel. Iran will ultimately enforce a ‘nuclear umbrella’ over the region to radicalize and to spread their ‘revolutionary’ fervor.
