Iran Super Thread- Merged

[Czech_pivo]

You act as though Israel is in control. Israel will do what America says if America tells them what to do because their country is 100% dependent on it.

If America told them we will stop selling arms to you and give you the South Africa treatment if you carry on, then they wouldn’t act. And if they did they wouldn’t last long as a nation.

Somehow America has forgotten that they are the ones in charge of them not the other way around.

Israel launching a nuke would likely be the death of the country. Any public support the west has would die off and they would become completely isolated. That is a red line that cannot be tolerated by anyone.

Would be interesting to see things play out with the US President and its administration if they ever attempted to do that. I have zero doubt that the Israelis have already planned and gamed this out. What their moves would be is what is not known.

I hope they don't classify them as a 'Light Brigade'

There's no option but to escalate now. Iran can keep tolling the strait and going for a while. They are making more money than ever. The Sanctions relief that Trump gave them was 10x more than Obama's containers of money. If you're the IRGC why would you not keep this going? Even better, Iranians who were anti-regime are rallying to the flag a bit because it turns out when the Americans bomb the IRGC who live in your neighbourhood, they are still bombing your neighbourhood....

Flip side, if you're Trump what choice do we have. Anything less than grabbing a few islands looks like surrender. And the Iranians will be left more dominant than ever over the strait. The only way I can see out is grab a whole bunch of islands including Kharg. And then force the Iranians to the table.
