[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Israel can only attack Iran from the air and with, perhaps, a few very small commando-style ground operations. There is no way in hell that the IDF is capable of occupying Iran. Therefore, if Israel strikes first, it has to deliver a knock-out blow because past experience shows that it cannot defend itself against an Iranian attack. Israel needs the help of the U.S. to do that. Trump has clearly warned Israel not to attack while U.S.-Iran talks are going on. It is therefore possible that Trump will not come to Israel's aid if Israel strikes first.

I can't see Trump showing any interest in an Iraq-style occupation of Iran. Therefore, if the U.S. gets involved, I think our attacks will be limited to stand-off weapons. The result of those attacks will likely be to turn Iran into a failed state, joining the failed states of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and, partially, Lebanon. That is a lot of territory and a lot of people to put into states of anarchy and is a recipe for future problems.

Stand off weapons will not turn Iran in to a failed state. Iran is a country with a long national identity. An American attack will rally the country. Iran also has a lot of leverage with Russia and China and most likely could produce a deliverable nuclear weapon in a matter of days. Last time Iran launched their out of date stuff at Israel. This time they will launch their improved munitions(Russian techies are in Iran helping with weapons for the Ukraine war) and target Israel, Saudi and Bahrain. Also look for assassinations of the royal families in Jordan, Saudi Jordan and Bahrain[/quote]
