War with Israel: Insights from Iran Amid Political Shifts and Uncertain Future

News EditorBy News EditorJune 30, 2025 World 6 Mins Read

In recent weeks, tensions between Iran and Israel have escalated dramatically, resulting in a 12-day military conflict that has reshaped perceptions of national unity within Iran. Veteran journalist Seyed Rahim Bathaei notes that, amidst longstanding divisions, this recent violence has fostered an unprecedented sense of solidarity among the Iranian people. Analysts and political observers are now grappling with the potential consequences of this conflict, the involvement of the U.S., and the urgent need for diplomatic dialogue to prevent further escalation.

The Shift in Iranian Perceptions

The Iranian public’s view of their national identity and pride has experienced a significant transformation due to the conflict with Israel. For an extended period, Iranian society has been marked by a divide between supporters of the Islamic Republic’s rulers and those opposed to the regime. However, the recent war has fostered a newfound national unity, as citizens come together to defend their country against a common adversary. According to Bathaei, this collective feeling is rooted deeply in a desire to maintain Iran’s long-standing history and civilization, which spans over 5,000 years.

He explains, “They want to preserve it; they say: ‘We are the nation. We have a national identity. Don’t smash – don’t try even to smash – or don’t insult our pride and this deep civilization.’” This sentiment reflects a broader emotional response among Iranians who feel under threat and are rallying together to assert their identity. The underlying aspiration to safeguard their heritage and pride becomes especially critical during times of conflict, as they negotiate their place in a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape.

The Role of the U.S. in the Iran-Israel Conflict

The dynamics of the conflict are further complicated by the involvement of the United States, a key ally of Israel. Analysts suggest that while the U.S. maintains significant military capabilities, any efforts to destabilize the Iranian government could unleash severe repercussions not only in the region but globally. Bathaei argues that past U.S. interventions in countries like Libya and Iraq have resulted in disastrous outcomes, warning that a similar scenario could arise should the U.S. escalate its involvement with military action against Iran.

“That would be a disaster. We have already seen what happened in Libya, what happened to Syria. Iraq, actually, is a big example for us. That’s a disaster for the region,” Bathaei asserts. He believes that violent instability could lead to the emergence of extremist groups and prevent any hope for future peace. The current ceasefire, mediated by the U.S., has held for nearly a week; however, the shadows of doubt and fear regarding another possible military strike on Iran loom large.

Bathaei’s Experience as a Journalist

With more than 35 years of experience in journalism, Bathaei has witnessed numerous conflicts and political changes within Iran. His insights into the current war are informed by a long history of reporting on the Iranian landscape, which provides him a unique perspective on society’s reactions. The ongoing conflict, he explains, was not entirely unforeseen; rather, it feels like a culmination of escalating tensions that he had anticipated given Iran’s steadfast support for the Palestinian cause over the years.

He shares, “Iran has had this strong belief to support Palestinians and the Palestinian cause and has not been shy to project it quite openly.” Aware of these deep-seated convictions and their implications, Bathaei expresses concern that the situation might flare up again, leading both countries toward darker paths. Despite his many years of experience, he admits that he has struggled to find a sense of optimism in the wake of this conflict.

Calls for Diplomatic Engagement

Amidst the chaos, Bathaei strongly advocates for direct dialogue between the conflicting nations. He emphasizes the absence of constructive communications as a critical barrier to resolving hostilities. “They’re not talking to each other,” he points out, insisting that open dialogue could help eliminate misunderstandings and pave the way toward lasting peace.

He suggests that meetings between Iranian and U.S. politicians could break down existing barriers and softening enduring tensions. “I’m not saying Iran and the U.S. will be friends; be allies, in the near, foreseeable future, but I think it’s not something impossible.” Bathaei’s plea reflects the hope of many Iranians who wish to see an end to the cycle of violence, underscoring the importance of collaboration over confrontation.

Future Implications of the Conflict

Bathaei cautions that continued military action could lead to severe instability in the region, potentially creating a power vacuum that might be exploited by terrorist groups. As the conflict with Israel highlights the fragility of the current geopolitical situation, the potential for international repercussions grows. Bathaei reminds us that while the immediate threat may diminish due to the ceasefire, the underlying tensions remain unresolved.

“I think we are going toward darker things,” he admits, conveying his concerns about the future landscape of the Middle East. His instinct tells him that unless significant efforts are made towards diplomatic dialogue, the ongoing animosity may trigger additional conflicts, drawing in not only the immediate belligerents but potentially other regional and global powers, igniting a far-reaching crisis.

No. Key Points
1 The recent conflict has unified Iranian citizens in ways previously unseen, fostering a collective national identity.
2 The involvement of the U.S. raises concerns about further destabilizing the region, with historical precedents cautioning against military intervention.
3 Bathaei’s long career provides him insights into the societal reactions and anticipated outcomes of the conflict.
4 Direct dialogue between Iran and the U.S. is crucial for breaking the cycle of misunderstanding and violence.
5 The potential for regional instability remains high if hostilities continue without diplomatic resolutions.

Summary

The conflict between Iran and Israel not only reignites historical tensions but also pushes the Iranian populace toward a greater sense of unity against a common adversary. As calls for diplomatic engagement increase, the need to avoid further military escalation becomes evident. Veteran journalist Seyed Rahim Bathaei emphasizes the importance of reconstructing narratives of conflict into opportunities for dialogue, potentially transforming the ongoing crisis into a foundation for future peace. The implications of the situation remain unpredictable, but the urgency for communication among adversaries has never been greater.
