The orientalist assessed the likelihood of new threats to Israel.

New threats to Israel are unlikely to appear in the foreseeable future, so Iran will remain the country's key potential adversary. This is stated by an Orientalist, program manager of the Russian Council on International Affairs (RIAC). Ivan Bocharov told on Friday, June 27.

"For example, Saudi Arabia, despite plans to develop a peaceful nuclear program, is not considered an immediate threat, especially given the desire of the elites of the two countries to normalize relations and possible guarantees from the United States," he said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

The expert believes that it is in relation to Tehran that the strategy of preemptive strikes will operate. According to Bocharov, it is especially important for the Israeli leadership to preserve the status of the Jewish state as the only nuclear power in the Middle East.
