US bases near Iran have become 'the American Achilles heel because of their vulnerabilities to attack,' Michael Maloof, ex-Pentagon analyst, told Sputnik.

"Israel is going to be very hard-pressed to be able to defend against that. And that's why the US now is coming in, and that gets the US directly involved. And that could then open up US assets in the region. We [have] got some 35 bases that surround Iran, and they thereby become vulnerable. They were meant to be a deterrence. Clearly, deterrence is no longer on the table here. Now they become the American ‘Achilles heel’ because of their vulnerabilities to attack," Maloof said.

Iran-Israeli conflict 'could easily escalate into something beyond the region,' Michael Maloof, former Pentagon security policy analyst, told Sputnik.
Subscribe to @SputnikInt
"It's going to depend upon the response from the Israelis, if they go directly into Iran. If Israel were to retaliate, then I think they would engage the more sophisticated missiles and hypersonics potentially if they have them... The escalation could be even ratcheted up that could conceivably bring in other and extend beyond just this region," Maloof added.
