On Friday, Israel was bracing for an attack by Iran or its proxies after Tehran vowed to retaliate for an Israeli airstrike that killed senior Iranian commanders in Syria on April 1. Although the tit-for-tat strikes are the latest in a long-running shadow war between the two countries, the risk for miscalculation and escalation continue to grow.   “Over the decades, Iran and its proxies have developed keen instincts for calibrating risk,” writes Suzanne Maloney. “Now, having gauged the waning American interest in the Middle East, Iranian leaders see an advantage to be gained by gambling.” Maloney outlines what the Biden administration must do—and quickly—to prevent Tehran from exploiting the war in Gaza to further its own ambitions.
