I have been sitting here trying to figure out what to write about what we just witnessed. Just like October 7th, the shocking attack on Israel that just took place altered the course of history. This was the first time that Iran ever attacked Israel directly, and I was flooded with emails by readers that were concerned about World War III. So now that the Iranian attack is over, what will Israel do now? That is the big question. If Israel directly attacks Iran, the Iranians will inevitably respond and the conflict could spiral out of control. But if the Israelis do not strike back, they will look weak and the Iranians could feel like they will be able to get away with similar things in the future.
Overall, the Iranians sent more than 300 drones and missiles toward Israeli territory…

The good news is that the U.S. military and the IDF were able to shoot down 99 percent of them…

The Iranians are trying to frame this strike as a victory, but the truth is that it was a huge defeat.
So that gives Israel options.
If a tremendous amount of damage had been done inside Israel, the Israeli government would have felt a need to respond very forcefully.
But since the Iranian attack was such a failure, that gives Israel the option of simply walking away.

I can see the possible benefits of turning the other cheek and telling Iran that if each side stands down, there doesn’t need to be any more trouble on that front. No one wants a cycle of escalation. So have a cease-fire instead.
However, if the Muslim terrorist regime uses the cease-fire only to break it with a fresh attack in the near future, then I think Israel should go for maximum carnage. Tell the US to jump in a lake.
Thank you!
Ironically Germany appears to be their best vocal friend. But I would imagine the Sunni Arab world will give them what they need to take out the Shiite head Iranians. Of course they will raise a stick up locally but the Sunni would be happy to see Iran wiped out. America is no longer an Israeli ally with this chomo in the white hut.
The response should be to annihilate Hamass immediately.
The obvious answer is take out all the facilities working on nuclear weapons.
Don’t know but it will be creative &deadly to whoever the Israelis target.
Agree 100% - IDF should leverage retaliation against Iran against going into
Rafah and taking out the remaining Hamas.
