The Iranians give the US a few days warning along with other countries in the region. After the "attack," Iran's mission to the United Nations says military action can be "deemed concluded." Sounds like a pro forma meaningless gesture for domestic Iranian consumption.
Israel is being pressured now to not respond in-kind, i.e., no retaliation. The US has said they will not support a retaliatory attack. Will Israel allow an unprecedented Iranian attack from its own soil? What is the long term impact of no action?
The only similar incident was the US convincing Israel during the Gulf War (Desert Storm), not to respond to Scud attacks from Iraq. They stood down so as to preserve the allied coalition.
If I were Bibi, I would leverage my non-response to force the US to re-implement sanctions against Iranian oil and to immediately pass the Israel aid package.
Oh for the days of Trump:
Spoken like a leader and someone who cares.
Ole Joey just following what he told to say.
Mr Don’t got smacked. All he care about is Michigan votes so flops around on the issue of terroism on display
There is little question. I don’t know if we can wait until the first of the year for President Trumps return. We need him now. Especially since he is the legitimate president.
