Steadfast Defender 24 (Simulated emerging conflict scenario against a near-peer adversary)
Tough call
Iran demonstrated they can launch from home and actually hit targets in Israel
Iran tested Israel air defense and gathered valuable data
Iran sent over plentiful cheap drones and forced Isreal/US/UK to fire EXPENSIVE arms to shoot down the cheap drones
Israel lost a lot of leverage this past weekend
Send a note to the head Iranian guy saying, “We know where you live.” And a day later, drone the bastard.
One of the reasons Jordan shot down many of Iran's missiles (and the US and UK forces shot down missiles over Iraq) is because Iran didn't get permission to use their airspace. Are those countries mad enough at Iran to allow Israel to use their airspace for missiles and planes to attack Iran?
If not, then we're talking about Israel launching with a naval attack from Arabian sea. I guess that's possible. But it'd be harder to pull off.
Simple, blow up their largest most profitable petroleum plant in the middle of the night.
They say you provided warning and minimized casualties and now perceive the situation closed AND if Iran responds they will get a massive response.
How about 20-25 nukes hitting every major military,
Industrial, and population center?
Just end the threat.
It’s just a matter of time before $100 oil and $5
gas. Aint nothing Joey can do about it.
