Middle East Conflict (merged)

So you’ve got no problem with full scale war? Millions displaced or dead?

I also question why you would want to support dictatorships like Iran who their own people don’t want in charge.

A further escalation from either side would be catastrophic.

You really need a historical lesson on the impact of regime change.

Your learning, in fact, is "Oct 7th" as a microcosm of your whole understanding when it comes to Iranian position, as it currently stands.

In short, what Iran is now is all you see, but not how it got there.

I've posted this before on how Iran's leadership came to be. It's up to you to look into history.

Iran are out of their depth. Israel used stealth fighter jets to bomb and kill the Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh right in the centre of Tehran. Imagine if Ukraine could just fly fighter jets to Moscow, bomb Putin and then fly back without reply. The difference in military capability and technology is insane.

There's a good reason why Iran has been trying to acquire ballistic nuclear weapons. It is too far for fighter jet attacks and Israel would obviously win that fight anyway. Navy attacks are impossible due to the western presence in the region.

This leaves a ground war which is never going to happen because the geography makes a land invasion impossible. There are then just nuisance attacks through drones but that has very limited utility and Israel has its own defenses against that.

Iran are powerless and it is impossible for them to start a war let alone have any chance of winning. The curveball will always be nuclear weapons but Israel has a good history of let's say making Iranian nuclear scientists disappear and causing certain things to randomly blow up from time to time...

No, no, no. We were told Iran and Hamas are an existential threat to Israel because of ........ words ........ , as justification for what is going on in Gaza. What has changed?
