The drone strikes on Iran will be justified on preventative grounds but they risk escalating tensions in an delicately balanced world.
The global cycle of war seems to have lifted a notch with some recent drone attacks on Iran.
The presumption is that the attacker was Israel in an attempt to stop the Iranian regime from developing nuclear weapons.
That's perfectly understandable from the Israeli's perspective. After all, the Iranians have promised to remove Israel from the face of the Earth given the opportunity.
It's another deadly reminder that serious potential conflicts are erupting in all corners of the globe.
