[@ivancho5854]

Everyone wants to have the last word. Which is a natural human reaction. However if Iran doesn't want to go to war with Israel then they should stop attacking Israel directly or with proxies. Iran's priorities lie with their theocratic leadership not being able to tolerate the existence of Israel, yet Israel poses absolutely no risk to Iran if they don't provoke them. Iran is incredibly vulnerable and sooner or later is likely to try Israel's patience and Iran will not be able to export one drop of oil. Iran's priorities make little sense to my Western mind and possibly to anyone not immersed and fully committed to their theocracy.

[@dirtyharry6297]

Israel and US was warn when and where attack will start by Iran. Iran can not effort not to respond, but in such a way not to trigger their own defeat by doing so

[@insanebe1]

that isn't true, it was confirmed by the US, Iran and Israel there was no warning. Although they probably knew it was coming.

[@drkhan6903]

This whole campaign is not designed to weaken Iran and its proxies, but these dents will rather make Iran emerge as a hero in the region, more public support for Iran will emerge in the countries which dislike Iran. So your analysis is no doubt quite detailed but you are failing to grasp the real point actually.

[@radhatter2018]

If you mean some other leader will use their downfall to spur on their own power you're totally right. But that would happen no matter what. A roll of the dice on a new regime that is more reasonable is about the sanest thing the west can do with a religious theocracy that has our destruction as one of its primary aims...sitting around letting them build power and hoping they don't do so is foolish.
