Iran’s Destabilizing Role, Nuclear Threats, and Prospects for Peace - NewsX Interview

Miri addresses recent developments in Iran and the broader Middle East, emphasizing the dangers posed by Iran’s quest for nuclear weapons and its destabilizing regional activities through proxies like Hezbollah and the Houthis. She highlights that Israel and the US have focused on containing Iran’s missile, drone, and proxy attacks rather than directly targeting nuclear sites, pushing back against hypothetical narratives. Miri underscores the attacks on critical infrastructure across the region—including gas and energy facilities in Israel and Qatar—and frames Iran’s strategy as one threatening not only Israel but the rest of the Middle East and Europe. Responding to Lebanon's move to ban Hezbollah's military operations, she commends the rhetoric but notes that real action is still lacking, pointing out the unprecedented nature of such statements in Lebanon’s political context. Miri concludes by advocating for a regional resolution that recognizes Israel’s right to exist alongside its neighbors and calls for leaders in Iran to prioritize the well-being of their own citizens over regional aggression.
