Iran and Israel had long observed an unwritten “red line” by avoiding attacks on each other’s nuclear facilities.Washington lacks a coherent Iran strategy, Qian concluded, arguing that US actions have instead bolstered domestic support for the Islamic Republic and risk inflaming tensions across the Middle East.

US Strike Near Iran’s Bushehr Site Risks Igniting Middle East Nuke Trouble — Analyst
13:32 GMT 10.07.2026 (Updated: 14:25 GMT 10.07.2026) A recent US strike near Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant was a “deliberate and short-sighted political gamble” that could further destabilize the Middle East, Qian Yaxu, PhD, from the Center for Regional and Country Studies at Southwest Jiaotong University, told Sputnik.
Iran and Israel had long observed an unwritten “red line” by avoiding attacks on each other’s nuclear facilities.
"With this strike, the US military has crossed that ‘red line,’” the expert highlighted, warning that any Iranian retaliation could target Israeli nuclear sites and lead to severe environmental and regional consequences if radiation were released.
Washington lacks a coherent Iran strategy, Qian concluded, arguing that US actions have instead bolstered domestic support for the Islamic Republic and risk inflaming tensions across the Middle East.
