Iran has vowed to take revenge on Israel for the killing of Ismael Haniya, in Tehran. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Sayyed Ali Khameini has vowed to attack Israel saying, “Following the bitter, tragic event which took place within our borders of the Islamic Republic, it is our duty to take revenge.”

With the murder of Hamas chieftain Ismael Haniya in Tehran, and Tuesday’s assassination of the Hezbollah leader, Fuad Shukr in Beirut, how likely is a wider escalation of war, both with Hamas, with Hezbollah and possibly with the head of the octopus, Iran?


Israel has retaliated, with strength, for the heinous attack from Hezbollah, which resulted in the murder of 12 teenagers and children from the Druze village of Mejdal Shams.


Has this widened the war that Israel has been fighting since the barbaric atrocities of October 7th on Israel’s south, which Hezbollah entered into on October 8th? How inevitable is a wider war with Hezbollah, and possibly Lebanon? Will this primarily be contained to Hezbollah, or will it involve Lebanon, and possibly Iran?


Now, in the middle of an election season, with a “lame duck president” within the White House, will the United States come to Israel’s defense if attacked by Iran? On April 13th, when Israel was attacked by Iran, a coalition of countries, including the United States, Israel, Jordan and Great Britain joined to shoot down approximately 300 missiles from the skies over Israel. Is this likely to happen again?


Here to discuss these issues is David Shenker, former United States Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs, under President Donald Trump.

About the Speaker: Daniel Pipes is the President of the Middle East Forum. He is a historian, has and has led the Middle East Forum since its founding in 1994. He taught at Chicago, Harvard, Pepperdine, and the U.S. Naval War College. He served in five U.S. administrations, received two presidential appointments, and testified before many congressional committees. The author of 16 books on the Middle East, Islam, and other topics, Mr. Pipes writes a column for the Washington Times and the Spectator; his work has been translated into 39 languages. DanielPipes.org ([link removed]) contains an archive of his writings and media appearances; he tweets at @DanielPipes. He received both his A.B. and Ph.D. from Harvard. The Washington Post deems him “perhaps the most prominent U.S. scholar on radical Islam.” Al-Qaeda invited Mr. Pipes to convert and Edward Said called him an “Orientalist.”
