Other experts say Iran is overwhelmed militarily by Israel and allies. Any further escalation will only result in Iran losing any gains it has made under Biden. They have made their point, but it’s really pointless.

I suspect Israel has a target list of Iranian nuclear facilities, and will send F35s with bunker busters.

Iran is pretty good at digging into mountains, so the damage will not be heavy.

But I think Israel will take this opportunity to slow down the mullah’a nukes.

Iran has to be dealt a violent blow. Wishing and praying otherwise is not going to end their belligerence.

They need their lights knocked out. They need their basic water sources destroyed. They need their oil refineries destroyed. They need their airports and air force destroyed.

To win a war, you have to destroy the enemy’s WILL and MEANS to continue their fight. When they stand in stunned silence in the rubble of their country, they will ONLY THEN get the message.

Best thing Bibi can do is to warn Iran. Then continue to destroy Hamas and other proxies in the region.

Biden insists he supports Israel but does Biden support Israel striking Iran directly for this?

Netanyahu and Biden change the subject away from Palestinians in Gaza by hyping this Iran attack its good PR for both men.

I support Israel defending itself but Iran makes the point that Israel started this with its covert attacks like the one on its embassy in Damascus.

Netanyahu fighting for survival needs to pull his folks together.

A 14-year-old shepherd boy murdered by terrorists yesterday in Israel and the “Far-Right” settlers whose parties are in the Netanyahu government attacked Palestinians nearby.

The religious (Haredim) whose political parties are another pillar in Netanyahu’s government ordered drafted by the Leftist High Court and Attorney General.

They protested in the thousands in Jerusalem the other day.

Internal pressure on Netanyahu is big how does he respond to these attempts to break the people whose political parties hold up his government?

Most likely that was a short term climax out of Iran.

The folks warning of it being some kind of tester for future escalation are most likely off base.

Wars and rumors of wars.

This is solidly on the rumors of wars side.

Unsurprisingly, the Judeo-Christian nation out-intellected the apes from a muhamedism cluster of primates. Who couldn’t see that coming?
I think, given the climate post 10-7 and the cowardly Biden Administration, Israel will hit back like God’s Fist, showing no mercy and little discretion, God Bless ‘em, as is their moral right.

Maybe Iran attacked knowing it would be easily defeated. So they can claim they did something knowing they didn’t pose a real risk.

Iran has received valuable information regarding the utility of this attack method. They will train their sights on defeating the countermeasures. This attack will not go unpunished.

Even the mullahs knew this “Pickett’s charge” type attack initiated with full notification would fail. Not only did it not harm Israel but the mullahs have shown their own people just how impotent they really are. The Iranian generals are still dead. Israel still holds Iran accountable for the October 7 attack and atrocities and is by no means done with Iran.

The point is Israel’s, and the point is to drag the US actively into the conflict, IMO.

If I’m wrong, Israel will de-escalate rather than raise the bar.

This is called a “managed de-escalation”.

One thing for sure is that the Iranians are free rolling in a lot of folks minds.

Regardless of what has happened or what will happen-

they’ll blame us and Israel.

Iran started it, they’ve been escalating with the Houthis and Hezbollah and yet employing pretzel logic and mental gymnastics folks conclude us and Israel have desired wider conflict all along. Meanwhile if Israel attacked Teheran on day 2 they could’ve had escalation immediately. If we wanted escalation, the day that they started firing on our ships offered plenty of reason to escalate.

Israel has a list of Iranian high value targets. They took out a few of them to precipitate this response from Iran. The Israelis will just eliminate a couple more of those HVTs, as if to brush off a bothersome insect from their clothes.

Iran will get the message and instead use the UN to condemn Israel.

I guess if the Japanese only hit 1 ship at Pearl Harbor we would have said, whew that was close, have a nice trip home.

Three things need to be done:

Kill the leaders of Iran

stop their nuke program

Clean out the vipers next in Rafah.
