Gulf War
Continued from preceding page
Soviet Union," he said. "This
was true before the Islamic
revolution and it remains
true today."
The View
From Israel
While the moderate Arab
world breathed a collective
sigh of relief when Iran an-
nounced its acceptance of the
ceasefire, news of the impen-
ding halt to hostilities has
provoked deep concern in
Jerusalem.
gb Israeli military planners,
the Gulf War — so long as it
kept both sides pinned down
in a draining, bloody conflict
and failed to produce a
decisive victor — was a gift
from heaven.
It deflected the hostility of
Islamic fundamentalist Iran,
which regards the "Zionist
entity" as a creature of the
satanic United States and as
a usurper of Moslem rights.
More important, perhaps, it
insured that Iraq — which
has participated in every
previous conflict against
Israel — could be safely
counted out of any Arab war
coalition.
In addition, it created deep
divisions within the Arab
world, pitting the pro-Iranian
radical states (notably Syria
and Libya) against the pro-
Iraqi moderates (notably Jor-
dan, Kuwait and Saudi
Arabia).
"If we had calculated it all
on a computer, we could not
have devised a more attrac-
tive scenario," said one senior
Israeli official.
Now that the war appears
to be over, however, all the old
calculations are suddenly ob-
solete. Those lazy, hazy, crazy
days of intra-Arab discord are
past, and dark new clouds are
beginning to gather in the
minds of Israeli military
planners.
There is a growing fear that
Israel may be forced to pay
dearly for the past eight years
of relative freedom from ex-
ternal threat.
Both Iran and Iraq have
gained invaluable military
experience and expertise us-
ing the most advanced con-
ventional weapons available
(in the case of Iraq, chemical
warheads, too).
Moreover, both sides are
vastly more powerful than
they were before hostilities
began. Iraq, for example,
started the war with 12 divi-
sions; it now has 50 (which
translates into 1 million men
under arms). It also has an ar-
mory that includes 5,000
tanks, 650 fighter planes,
long-range missiles and
home-made, battle- proven
chemical warheads.
In addition, the Iraqi Air
Force has proved that it is
capable of using its sophis-
ticated jet fighters to lethal
effect, conducting long-range
bombing attacks against oil
installations deep inside
Iranian territory.
Missions over such dis-
tances, according to Israeli
analysts, would give Iraqi
pilots the technical ability to
reach all of Israel's major
cities.
The view among several
Israeli analysts is that Iraq,
despite the massive aid —
both moral and material — it
received from moderate Jor-
dan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia
during its hour of greatest
need, will eventually return
to its natural place among the
radical states of the Arab
world.
They also believe that the
Iranian leaders, forced to
"There was a real
danger that
resentment
over the war might
have eventually
undermined the
Iranian regime.
justify the sudden aband-
onment of their hideously ex-
pensive war, will choose to
direct the attention of their
bewildered people towards an
evil that is even greater than
the Iraqi regime of President
Saddam Hussein: the Zionist
occupation of Jerusalem.
"In the Iranian ideology,
Israel is the enemy of Islam in
particular and humanity in
general," noted one Middle
East observer. "Once Iran is
released from the burden of
its war with Iraq, it may very
well concentrate its efforts
against Israel?'
In the immediate future,
the two former protagonists
will need time to recover from
the sheer exhaustion of their
marathon war; they will need
time to repair the economic
devastation and heal the
social dislocation.
In the medium and long
term, however, Israeli
analysts believe that the
advanced weaponry and bat-
tle experience of the two sides
are likely to pose a serious
threat in any future Arab war
coalition.
"When the tensions are
reduced, Iraq could comfor-
tably contribute an expedi-
tionary force of three or four
divisions to join in a war
against Israel," said one
senior Israeli source in
Jerusalem.
"If I were Israel's minister
of defense, I would be deeply
concerned:"
