Iran is intensifying regional pressure with a strategic goal of isolating Israel and the United States, according to analysts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). The ISW's November 8 review suggests Tehran aims to prevent closer ties between Arab states, Washington, and Jerusalem. By increasing regional pressure, Iran hopes to complicate cooperation between these nations and hinder the formation of a united front against Iran.
Analysts believe that regional isolation of the U.S. and Israel could weaken pressure on Iran. If Arab governments fear repercussions for cooperating with Washington and Jerusalem, their participation in joint security measures and unified stances against Iran may diminish. The ISW report identifies several pressure points, including ongoing Iranian military attacks on vessels near the Strait of Hormuz and intensified Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabian infrastructure.
The Houthi attacks, analysts note, are intended to compel Riyadh to cease its military operations in Yemen, lift blockades on Houthi-controlled ports and airports, and transfer control of Yemeni oil and gas resources. Concurrently, Iran is seeking international recognition of its control over the Strait of Hormuz. ISW suggests that claims by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps about ships hitting naval mines might be designed to increase perceived risks for shipping companies, thereby pressuring nations reliant on maritime security.
For Israel, the challenge extends beyond direct threats from Iran and its proxies. The stance of Arab states in an escalating conflict is crucial. Tehran benefits from Arab governments prioritizing their own territorial defense, ports, energy facilities, and trade routes, making cooperation with the U.S. and Israel a more politically difficult decision. The ISW views this as an effort to impede further rapprochement between individual Arab nations and Washington and Jerusalem, rather than shattering a unified Arab bloc.
