lebanon and in the wider middle east. since the beginning of this year, exchanges of fire between israel and hezbollah — the iran—backed militia and political movement in lebanon have become more intense. israeli jets have been raiding deeper into lebanon and syria. in iran tonight, protesters went out onto the streets of tehran, chanting, "death to israel!" the iranian regime believes its security depends on deterring its enemies. the raid on damascus showed that it's not doing that. the question now is what the iranians will do to show that they are not deterred by israel. a response might not be immediate or straightforward and is likely to be calibrated to reflect iran's reluctance to get involved in an all—out war. jeremy bowen, bbc news in northern israel. michael o'hanlon is a senior fellow and director of research in foreign policy at the brookings institution — a us based think tank. he told me how he thinks iran will respond — if it is confirmed that israel was behind the attack. it's hard to say becau

not only in the south of lebanon but we've seen an israeli drone strike in beirut, the heart of your capital city, and in recent weeks we've seen israeli air raids in the baqaa valley, from the south in the east of your country. how likely do you believe it is that going to end up with all—out war between israel and hezbollah and what would that do to lebanon? to be quite honest, in the first few months we were thinking that the intervention of larger nations, including the efforts that the us and france and some european countries were putting would really put an end to this or at least shield lebanon but today, i can tell you based on the escalation that has happened so far and the politics that we keep hearing about regarding the issues that are going on in israel that there is an interest to keep this war going. because the israeli prime minister has an interest to keep this war going because of his issues internally. that really is a big concern because they keep pushing the card and we've been seeing more escalation as well on lebanon in the past few weeks so i would say that

israel is already fighting iranian—backed groups, in gaza to the south and lebanon to the north. a far less powerful opponent delivered a major blow on the 7th of october. israel's challenge now is how to restore a fear of conflict in its biggest enemy without triggering a war. lucy williamson, bbc news. suzanne maloney, is an iran expert who is the vice president and director of the foreign policy program at the brookings institution. she weighed in on whether israel might risk a direct war with iran. well, i think the israelis recognise that they are overmatched when it comes to their military capabilities versus iran. they would be both on their own and with the support of allies like the united states in a position to absolutely obliterate the iranian military and likely produce an end to the islamic republic, the current ruling regime. i think that is, you know, obviously something that they could do, but it would come with very dire consequences for the rest of the region and for all of their own and, of course, us interests in the region. and i imagine that the biden admin
