    They’ve got the tiger by the tail now, then. Either the US and Israel pursue this all the way through to full regime change, or when they finally withdraw they’re going to be left with an implacable enemy for generations.

    I’m sure Trump thought this all through in thorough detail, though, and has a long-term plan.

      Yeah plan is Israel takes whatever land they want, US removes their nuclear capabilities, bleeds them dry of resources/oil, tries to instate some puppet leader and then bounces only to let them fall into another awful dictatorship and the cycle continues.

        If you think that Israel will take land from Iran you better double-check where these countries are on the map.

              Israel has no reason not to try it with US support. I’m sure they’d love to establish some territory to the east and then squeeze to the middle.

                It literally makes zero sense for Israel to claim hostile territory over 2000 kilometers away when the US already has numerous bases in the surrounding countries.

                    Sure, and maybe aliens will come to Earth and just teleport the entirety of Iran to Israel’s doorstep.

        Ah, less than a day into the fight and Trump is already frantically looking for a way to TACO.

      They already did this a few generations ago.
