🚨 Red Line Doctrine — In the Context of Israel vs. Iran
The “Red Line Doctrine” refers to a declared boundary or limit that, if crossed by an adversary, will provoke a strong or immediate military response. In the Israel–Iran conflict, red lines define Israel’s trigger points for action, especially regarding Iran's nuclear program and military entrenchment in neighboring states.

🔴 Israel’s Red Lines Against Iran
1. 🧪 Iran Acquiring Nuclear Weapons
Most critical red line.
Israel views a nuclear-armed Iran as an existential threat.
Israel has vowed to act militarily if needed to prevent this.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu famously drew a red line on a bomb diagram at the UN General Assembly in 2012, warning Iran was approaching nuclear breakout.

"If these are not stopped, Iran will have enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb by mid-2013." — Netanyahu (2012)

2. 🚀 Deployment of Advanced Missiles Near Israel
Precision-guided missiles in Lebanon or Syria, especially in the hands of Hezbollah, cross a red line.
Israel has launched hundreds of airstrikes in Syria to prevent Iran from transferring advanced weapons.

3. 🛡️ Permanent Iranian Military Bases in Syria
Israel considers any Iranian entrenchment on its northern border unacceptable.
Facilities near the Golan Heights, drones, or missile stockpiles invite Israeli airstrikes.
This red line has led to repeated Israeli raids on IRGC positions in Syria.

4. 🛠️ Weapon Transfers to Proxies (Hezbollah, Hamas)
Any attempt to supply precision weaponry, drones, or advanced air defense systems to Hezbollah violates Israeli red lines.
Israel’s "war-between-wars" (MABAM) strategy includes targeted strikes to disrupt these transfers.

⚠️ Iran’s Red Lines (In Response)
Iran also has red lines, though less publicly defined:
Direct attacks on Iranian soil or diplomatic sites (e.g., the 2024 Israeli strike on Iranian consulate in Damascus) provoke retaliation.
Assassinations of key IRGC or nuclear figures.
Blockade of oil exports or attacks on strategic infrastructure.

🧨 Consequences of Crossing a Red Line
Cyberattacks
Drone and missile retaliation
Regional escalation (e.g., involvement of Hezbollah or militias)
Global power involvement (U.S., Russia)
