Agreed. If Israels actions resulted in regime change and a less adventurist Iran I would be happy. But that would be tempered by a more adventurist Israel who may be tempted to swallow up ever more territory (in Syria) for their Greater Israel project which would create further instability and terrorism in the region.So the explicit Israeli goal here is regime change in Iran. Which uh fine I guess since I don't have any love for the ayatollah. The idea that a democratic Iran would be less hostile to Israel and not seek the bomb also feels...underbaked to say the least. If they got their wish they could end up producing a more competent government and military that still hates their guts that does less adventurism (Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, etc) but has nuclear weapons.
Would be fascinating if Iran's final act is to blow the hell out of the global oil supply.This is bad. Israel has struck a major Iranian oil facility. The Iranians had threatened they would attack the regions other oil producing facilities if their own were struck.
Looks like multiple impacts in Haifa.
Thing is a disproportionate amount of the casualties in Israel will end up being Palestinians because the government doesn’t bother building many bomb shelters for these communities.
