Know about what?
They didn’t participate in it. Iran was a fairly secular nation prior to the 1979 Revolution.
But...today they’re arguably the most powerful Middle Eastern nation. And they have Russian backing.
So this could get ugly for Israel.

True; however, one doesn't have to have been involved in an event/war to know about it. That was my point!

Russia is tied up with the Ukraine and just how much "help" that shall give is unknown.

And all, ALL of the major problems, in the world, are because WE have a lousy pResident from a damned RIGGED/FRAUDULENT election!

They’re unarguably not remotely close.

If Israel starts to lose or gets over run...they’ll go nuclear. Bank on it.

Saudi Arabia's economy is three times bigger than Iran. Israel, Egypt, and the UAE all have a GDP greater than Iran.

This what I think is ugly: Biden admin is putting Iran (or notdissuading) up to this as added pressure for a cease fire. Israel can’t accede to this. I still think this is Israel plan to eliminate all contention regarding a two state solution.
The US will end up enforcing no fly zone against Israel once action in the West Bank heats up. For the sake of fomenting bad PR against Israel in the future they can not allow the Palestinian terrorists to be taken off the board.
If so, then all that is left is Jew hatred and not ‘human rights’ activism.

If the players running Biden fail to support Israel in the face of a wider war with more players, Israel could rapidly reach the unpleasant 1973 situation of nearly firing all of its weapons with the outcome still uncertain. Do we even have the weapons stocks to resupply them fully with multiple regional players attacking them?

What the clowns on here dont realize is that China is thee largest buyer of oil from Iran. Iran has extremely large oil reserves and well as gas.

BTW, Turkey is the number one buyer of gas from Iran.

You think either of those two are going to sit back and watch as their supplier gets cut off?

Also, during the so called sanctions against Iran, China was purchasing oil from them on back channels.

So..your right, this will get ugly especially if Turkey gets involved.
As for Russia. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

And we have no strategic oil reserves left. not much in the way of ammunition reserves-that all went to Ukraine, they even had to restock Israel because they requested Israel send their surplus ammunition to Ukraine. That was one of the holdups to the ground invasion. Israel had to wait for a restock of its ammunition from the USA.

All this the result of one man. So all the wild eyed chest thumpers and keyboard warriors on here better hope to hell we dont get involved in a full out and out war over there.

Stupid..

If Biden makes one announcement this all goes away. “Today, we are reopening the keystone oil project and all other oil development projects.”

Drive the price of oil down and starve Iran and Russia of vital revenue to continue the madness.
