Iran could do great damage to little Israel. It’s such a small geographic area.
And they are sure Israel will not use nukes to defend themselves.
Iran has thousands of missiles that can reach Israel.
As a result Iran is stupid enough to believe they would prevail.
“Iran has thousands of missiles that can reach Israel.”
Well, that’s a 2-way street. Even without nukes or anything coming from Israel’s general direction, Israel has subs with cruise missiles that can substantially destroy a lot of Iran’s 4 big oil refineries. Combined with a shutdown of oil tankers moving out, Iran will have precious little gas and diesel (it imports 50% of what it uses, and no place to which to export its oil. And if Israel doesn’t do that, then the US certainly can (and will, at least according to Lindsey Graham Cracker). All in all, it won’t be a good day for Iran if they so much as mess up the hair of anyone in Israel.
