[luiza]

Yawn .
The sooner the good guys remove the petrodollar , the sooner the world becomes a fairer and nicer place .
Not long now .

Say it is true:

Iran has readied over 100 cruise missiles for possible strike on Israel: US officials

What should the US response be?

Is it a head fake or propaganda for the masses?
Is it serious?

What should the US do if/when it happens? IMHO nothing. Just shoot them down

Israel will destroy Iran if they attempt to attack.

 

[surada]

What other Arab states? Only their proxies even like them. Jordan and Saudi Arabia will likely let the Israelis fly over them uncontested.

To attack Iran? I'd say no . They are well aware of the history.

 

[surada]

Iran will never attack Israel. Like Iraq... Israel wants the US to declare war on Iran.

 

[surada]

President Trump's Abraham Accords were designed to do exactly that: To force them to rejoin the international community by freezing them out. Initially, Israel and the UAE signed the agreement, followed by Israeli agreement with Sudan, Morocco, Oman, and Jordan.

Had the Abraham Accord came to full fruition, Iran would have had no other choice than to normalize their relations with Israel.

Trump completely disinfranchised the Palestinians.. He basically caused the Hamas attack in October.

Prevent other Middle Eastern countries from getting involved and let Israel **** Iran up.

I doubt it.

YES!

Israel has been threatening Iran since 1992. Stand back and let Israel have their war

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

YES!

Right because Iran has always been totally innocent and it's leaders have never called for the destruction of Israel.

Iran is not Iraq and won't fold like a cheap lawn chair. Also for what it's worth, it isn't THEIR war, it is projected to be OUR war at the onset. Be very careful of what you wish for. You may find yourself saying later why didn't anyone stop Israel after Iran if it doesn't pan out like I think you hope for.

So, as a consolation prize, I voted for smashing their oil fields.

Great, let’s have $200 bbl oil!

The Iranian Theocracy will have to be smashed one way or another if there is to be Peace in that region.

Smashing their oil fields puts tremendous economic pressure on the regime with their own people.

You would rather than we sacrifice large numbers of American lives in order to retaliate against them?

If my choices are (1) pay more for oil for a while or (2) lose large numbers of American kids... I choose (1).

Of course, there is a school of thought which says (3) disengage and don't defend our own interests, isn't there?

 

[Kondor3]

Destroy the launch sites. Israel absolutely knows where they are at. Israeli intelligence is a step above

For "static" launch sites, yeah... for "mobile" launchers, it gets more complicated... and I don't know what "mix" the Iranians have.

But the Israelis will need to hit both... hard and decisively.... perhaps we will be feeding the IDF real-time satellite data.

 

[Kondor3]

The US should stay completely out of it... Completely.

Jews lived in Iran for 2500 years.

For decades Israel bought oil from Iran.

Israel provided weapons and intelligence for Iran during their 8 year war with Iraq.

Israel has threatened Iran every quarter since 1992.

No...

The United States has a long-standing "grudge" against Iran.

Dating back to 1979.

Aggravated by 40+ years of "Death to the Great Satan America" bull$hit vomiting out of the mullah's mouths...

If the Iranians launch on us it will be just the excuse we're looking for to join the fun.

There’s no better option than to upend the global economic lifeblood? Maybe just target all of their military assets so they can’t wage war? Sure, they can rebuild but that would cost them tons of money, but would have the same effect as smashing their oil fields?

 

[surada]

Right because Iran has always been totally innocent and it's leaders have never called for the destruction of Israel.

There used to be 200,000 Jews in Iran. They had been there for over 2000 years.

Israel bought all it's oil from Iran for decades until they stiffed them out of $100 million plus interest.

Israel provided Iran with weapons and intelligence in their 8 year war with Iraq.

Israel has been threatening Iran every quarter since 1992.

5 million bpd? Your cost to pump gasoline would go to $10 a gallon.

Iran is one of the world's largest oil producer, but output is below potential due to economic sanctions. Their reserves are vast.

 

[kyzr]

Israel will destroy Iran if they attempt to attack.

With what? They're asking for more bombs just to deal with Hamas in Gaza.
Israel has no weapons until we give them.
Look up the sizes of Iran & Israel, duh.

Link or explanation. I call bullshit. Trump had peace on track in the ME via the Abraham Accords.

What did Trump plan for 2 million Arab Gazans? What was his "peace track"?

They weren’t able to see the Hamas attack coming.
