Highlights
- As uncertainty about future U.S. action against Iran increases, Iran and Israel will seek to deter each other along Israel's northern border.
- Iran will aim to prevent a direct Israeli attack against the Islamic republic by building up bases in Syria and Lebanon, while Israel will seek to undermine this threat by pushing the United States to take action against Tehran.
- Israel will accept the dangers of a regional war so long as the United States provides direct cooperation against Iran.
