Part 3/7:
Israel's Role and Military Strategy
Israel’s ongoing conflict with Iran is another focal point of General Clark’s analysis. He believes that Israel holds a significant strategic advantage in terms of military capability, particularly with hard bombing at its disposal. He urges that any military options should focus on degrading Iran’s ability to retaliate, specifically targeting short-range missile sites and naval assets that threaten U.S. interests.
Furthermore, Clark argues for a sophisticated intelligence-sharing relationship with Israel to bolster these military efforts. He envisions a scenario where both military actions and diplomatic channels work in tandem, fostering a shift in Iran's posture—ideally leading to a mutually agreeable resolution.
