This is the most dangerous moment that we have seen in the Middle East in modern times. As you will see below, Israel has decided to hit Iran. There is still debate about whether it should be a devastating blow or a more limited strike. But in either case, the Iranians are pledging to retaliate. In fact, the Iranians are promising to respond to any attack with overwhelming force. Needless to say, that would certainly provoke another response from Israel. The cycle would continue until someone finally decides that enough is enough. But what if neither side backs down and the conflict escalates to an unthinkable level?

According to the Times of Israel, Channel 12 is reporting that the Israeli government has decided to hit Iran “clearly and forcefully”…

Of course that isn’t the only outlet that is indicating that a decision has already been made.

According to Axios, Yoav Gallant has told Lloyd Austin that Israel feels that it must respond to Iran’s attack on Saturday…

Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant told Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Sunday that Israel has no choice but to respond to the unprecedented missile and drone attack launched by Iran over the weekend, a U.S. official and another source briefed on the call told Axios.

And on Monday, Herzi Halevi publicly stated that Iran’s attack “will be met with a response”…

It’s been educational to watch Ukraine use marine drones to sink Russian combat ships. Just think what an advanced manufacturing country like Israel could do with them. Iran has lots of marine facilities.

… and/or that new oil port in the Gulf of Oman, so their ability to export oil is severely limited and they are just as dependent on getting ships through the Straight of Hormuz as the rest of the world is. Israel should destroy the port so thoroughly that it would need to be built from scratch and Israel should warn them not to even bother because they simply won’t allow it.

Iran is highly vulnerable when it comes to refined oil products, especially gasoline:

...if Israel isn’t biding its time until POTUS Trump, i don’t know what...

I strongly suspect that a war between Israel and Iran would improve the chances of Trump winning. Donald Trump has excellent children and Jewish grandchildren. Biden has Hunter...

Strike now before Iran rebuilds its weaponry. We learned a lot about the effectiveness of our defenses, but Iran also learned a lot about how to improve their offensive game.

Refineries are certainly an Achilles heel. Not sure if the Iranian public would blame the mullahs, or support further attacks. Iran’s navy is also an easy target. Their brand new “drone carrier” and/or their intelligence ship that is supporting the Houthis are sitting ducks.
