ANALYSIS: How will the looming war between Israel and Iran play out?
Experts say the region will see a surge in conflict and fighting within Syria and Lebanon as Tel Aviv seeks to confront Iran with the support of Trump.
A fully-fledged war between Israel and Iran is no longer a question of if, but when.
The confrontation has already begun with Israeli aircraft recently bombing a Syrian air base, which killed a number of Iranian military personnel, an act of defiance against Tehran.
There have been two rounds so far in this direct confrontation. The first took place on February 10, when Iran sent a drone over Israeli-controlled airspace and was downed. The second was when Israeli aircraft raided the T-4 base in Syria on April 9.
Many observers expect Iran to retaliate against Israel, as its silence about killing Iranians in Syria could be perceived as weakness and therefore encourage Tel Aviv to carry out more strikes against it, and perhaps encourage other parties to do the same.
At present, Tehran is believed to mulling over what it deems to be an appropriate response to Israel. But the most important question in Iran and the international media is the timing and place of the response: when and where will it be?
Israeli military analysts have revealed that shipments of heavy Iranian weapons that were meant to be sent to Hezbollah in Lebanon are no longer crossing the Lebanese border and are remaining in Syria.
This has generated Israel’s belief that they are being used to strengthen Iran’s military presence in Syria and that Tehran’s response to Tel Aviv will be on Syrian territory.
Why is Iran hesitating in its response?
According to Iranian officials, Iran wants a confrontation that Tehran determines its framework, not Tel Aviv.
The Israeli army supports Netanyahu in his current escalation of the conflict against Iran.
But at this time, according to analysts, Israel is prepared better than before to exploit the exhaustion of Hezbollah forces so that fighting on the ground in Lebanon does not come at a heavy price.
All the while, a rare series of events has taken place, that many may perceive as a rare coincidence: The attack on the T-4 base, the attack on a base in the countryside of Hama, Netanyahu's presentation of Iran’s secret nuclear program files and Morocco severing relations with Tehran.
In a speech on May 1, Hezbollah's Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said that "the war in Syria with proxies is coming to an end, and the second war with the genuine enemies may soon begin," alluding to a confrontation with Israel and wanted to say that the war and the United States after he would end a war with their agents, armed Syrian opposition groups.
It is certain that Iran's implementation of any military action against Israel through Lebanese territory means dragging Beirut into a devastating war similar to that of July 2006, which will cost Hezbollah a lot, both politically and militarily.
Why is Syria the most suitable to respond?
The Syrian response is more logical. Syria has tens of thousands of fighters affiliated with Iran, and the Russian presence will limit any Israeli escalation against the Syrian regime or against the bases of the Syrian army, in which Russian advisers are present.

DESPERATE parents of disabled school leavers who have failed to attract any or little funding for post-school support may take legal action for discrimination.
Parents are being forced to use the disability pensions of their adult children to fund placement in facilities that meet their need for stimulation and engagement.
They are left to top up any shortfall themselves before also providing for their children's ongoing sustenance.
The burden strains household budgets to breaking point as families are forced to underwrite what they say the State Government should provide.
Nambour mother Barb King's high needs Down syndrome 18-year-old Sammy-Jo attracted only about 10 hours a week in post-school funding when he left Nambour Special School last year.
Mrs King said she was now forced to seek legal redress.
"It's discrimination,'' Mrs King said. "Why is funding not even? I want the government to justify its funding allocation.
"We have to use Sammy's pension to give him access to the community. There is nothing left for his other needs.
"How do they decide one person is worth three days, others one and some none?
Like other parents who spoke to the Daily, Mrs King fully understands the decision by Ken and Mary Taylor to hand their son Kenny into the care of the state.
The Taylors have relinquished their dearly loved son to ensure his future.
They are the 10th family on the Coast to do so this financial year.
In some ways the Kings could be considered lucky.
Some of Sammy's classmates received no funding for post-school vocational care.
Among them are Dave and Jude Mannix, whose son Levi, 20, attended Nambour Special School until the end of 2010.
They pay $15,000 a year for him to attend Compass, a Palmwoods post-school provider of services to the disabled.
"That's a lot of money in anyone's book,'' Mrs Mannix said.
"We simply have to go without other things.
"We then juggle him between us on the other days. What do single-parent families do?
"Parents are stumped as to where to go. After Easter we plan to present a united voice to get action. Families are struggling badly.
Mrs Mannix has written to both the present and past state ministers for disabilities and received only a computer-generated letter of acknowledgement.
She said while the proposed National Disability Insurance Scheme offered some hope, even if it is approved by the Federal Government in July it is expected to take seven years to roll out.
Mrs King said that five months after leaving school her son was grieving.
"He's come from Nambour Special School where he had 12 great years and now everything has been stripped away.
"Adulthood is no place for the disabled or their parents.
"The structure of school has gone and with it the access to community and a sense of purpose.
"He is no longer engaged and excited about each day."
