56% : "Geopolitically speaking, I believe that the involvement of Iran is generally explained by its intention to keep and enhance its role as a leading power in the region, fiercely competing with US ally and Syrian opposition supporter Saudi Arabia," he told Al Jazeera.
42% : Iran is a close ally of the al-Assad regime, and has been involved in the conflict since the outset.
34% : "The attack is a warning to Iran insofar that it seeks to demonstrate that Tel Aviv will continue to resist the imposition of the new political dynamics of the nuclear deal in spite of Washington," Hamdi told Al Jazeera.
33% : Sami Hamdi, a political analyst, said the raids must be put within the context of the United States' allies fearing Iran's influence as President Joe Biden "steamrolls" them into pursuing a nuclear deal with Tehran.
31% : And while Syria's foreign ministry on Wednesday condemned the raids as a "war crime" and called for Israel to be held accountable, Hamdi said the government lacks any real agency to respond unilaterally due to the government's heavy military reliance on Russia and Iran.
17% : "Russia has no interest in any confrontation with Israel, while Iran is taking great care to avoid being provoked into an open conflict that might jeopardise Biden's position on a nuclear deal that Tehran considers to be particularly favourable," he said.
