European countries, such as France, Germany, and the UK, have called on Israel to avoid retaliatory strikes against Iran. They fear that such actions will further destabilize the region. U.S. President Joe Biden has also warned Israel that America will not support such retaliation.

What is the possible response from Iran if Israel continues its strikes?

What concerns arise if Israel's attacks target non-military sites in Iran?

If Israel targets non-military sites, such as civilian areas, it could constitute a war crime, and Iran may respond by similarly targeting civilian areas in Israel, leading to a dirty war with significant civilian casualties.

What role could other Middle Eastern nations and factions play in this conflict?

Factions like Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthi rebels in Yemen, and groups in Syria could join the conflict in solidarity with Iran. Their involvement could lead to attacks on Israel from multiple fronts, complicating the situation and increasing the scale of the conflict.

What actions might the United Nations and the international community take to address the escalating situation?

The international community, including the United Nations Security Council, may convene emergency meetings to address the conflict. Indonesia and other nations could push for immediate action to prevent further escalation and protect global peace.

How might the conflict affect Indonesia, particularly in terms of the economy?

Indonesia's economy could be negatively affected due to disruptions in global trade, especially if the conflict escalates and impacts global markets. Indonesia may need to revise its budget and strengthen its domestic economy to mitigate the economic fallout.

What role does the use of drones play in the conflict between Iran and Israel?

Drones have become a popular and effective tool in modern warfare, as seen in the Iran-Israel conflict. Both countries, especially Iran, have used drones for strikes, and they are likely to continue playing a significant role in aerial attacks due to their effectiveness in targeting without risking personnel.
