Iran is capable of inflicting painful blows on Israel — Artur Martirosyan

The Israeli right wing was happy that Iran had hit it, Artur Martirosyan, senior consultant at CMPartners and negotiations specialist, told Alpha News.

“We observe Iran and Israel have entered the so-called ‘strike-response’ stage, and now we are waiting for Israel to respond. Oddly enough, the right wing of Israel was happy that Iran had hit, but why? Because, finally, it will have the opportunity to respond to Iran. However, there is a mistake in their calculations, since today the US is not interested in such a response, especially as harsh as Netanyahu or the right-wing forces imagine it to be,” our interlocutor said.

Martirosyan explained that if the Iranian-Israeli conflict escalates, world prices for gasoline and oil will rise.

“It is clear that if the situation escalates, world prices for oil and gasoline will rise sharply. This will be a blow primarily to the US Democratic Party. At the moment, Americans are trying in every way to avoid this blow. And Iranians have already proven to Israel that it will not be able to contain Iran without the support of the United States. Iran is capable of inflicting painful blows on Israel,” Artur Martirosyan concluded.
