From Conflict to Consequences:

Strategic Outlook for Iran, Israel, and the Middle East

As part of the ongoing efforts by the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies (BESA) to provide timely and rigorous analysis, the Center recently convened an emergency briefing to examine the rapidly evolving regional escalation and its implications for Israel’s national security.

We were honored to feature a panel of distinguished BESA experts—Prof. Eitan Shamir, Maj. Gen. (res.) Eliezer Marom, Brig. Gen. (res.) Eran Ortal, Dr. Elai Rettig, and Ran Segev.

Together, they offered a clear, grounded, and strategic analysis of the current confrontation, addressing key pillars of the crisis:

• Iran’s Military Posture: An in-depth look at Tehran’s strategic intentions and current operational capabilities.
• Israel’s Strategic Roadmap: Evaluating potential responses across military, diplomatic, and economic spheres.
• Global and Regional Dynamics: The pivotal role of the United States and other world powers, alongside the activities of regional proxies.
• Prospects for Regime Change: Analyzing internal Iranian stability and what a different future for the Islamic Republic might look like.
• The Resilience of the Israeli Public: Assessing national morale and societal endurance amid continued security threats.

This BESA briefing was assembled under the auspices of the American Friends of Bar-Ilan University
