Assistant Director Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Col Rajeev Agarwal’s opinion piece ‘Iran’s nuclear programme: The forgotten deal but a lurking threat’ has been published in WION on 26 April 2024.
While it is being presumed that both countries would call it quits as far as directly targeting each other’s territory is concerned, the threat of escalation remains alive. Days later, on April 23, Iran’s President Raisi, during his visit to Pakistan, was quoted saying that the ‘Zionist regime’ will be destroyed if Israel attacks again in Iran, say Col Agarwal.
