Hamas head Ismail Ghania was liquidated in Iran. The government of this country stated that the response to this murder must be tough.

Tehran raised the red flag of revenge as a result of this event, because of which discussions arose about the possible start of a major war in the Middle East. Political scientist Oleg Saakyan told 24 Channel that an escalation of military forces could occur in this region.

Reasons for Escalation

According to the political scientist, the conflict in the East has three problems that flow into each other.

First – talks about the Hamas war with Israel, where Hamas attacked Israel. Second – Israeli-Palestinian territorial conflict. It concerns the dispute over which country is subject and independent. Third – the conflict between Israel and Iran.

Sahakyan believes that each of these issues could be politically advantageous to certain leaders.

Benjamin Netanyahu (Israeli Prime Minister – Channel 24) is interested in order that the war does not die down now. As soon as it stops, his political career will be over,” he said.

The political scientist suggested that Netanyahu, if Donald Trump comes to power, will receive additional support for to conduct a large-scale military campaign against all three issues.

Iran would not like an escalation, but it will not be able to not respond, he said .
