Imagining an Israeli Strike on Iran. [NYT]
Not too far off your evaluation. The powers that be are conditioning the nation's psyche for this inevitability. I'm anticipating this going down sooner than November.
Eerie, isn’t it?
If the emirates/israel/us could pull off a defended bridgehead and eventual client state on the Iranian side of the Persian Gulf in the vicinity of Bandar, I think it would tame the Iranian nuclear beast without the need to conquer the entire nation.
The client state would have total air superiority and easy access to any Iranian target.
