“Planes taking off from Israel would have to be re-fueled on the way there and on the way back. That would entail direct US involvement”

I recall doing some posts on that very subject back at my former site!!- Thanks for the reminder

As long as the US stays out of this then retaliation shouldn’t be possible- however, the US and UK intercepted missiles on Israel’s behalf over Syria and Iraq- which means they may be willing to refuel Israeli planes while claiming they didn’t directly participate- Same as arming Ukraine but not participating- It’s all in the messaging.

“The barrage of more than 300 missiles and drones fired at Israel prompted a highly successful, hand-in-glove military action by the US and Israel to defend the country.”

Hand in glove is what bothers me.

regarding new low in Gaza- Just when you think Israel couldn’t go any lower? They do!

Israel would have a hard time striking Iran. Obviously no ground troops could make the trek to Iran and if they could they would have a bitter reception. Planes taking off from Israel would have to be re-fueled on the way there and on the way back. That would entail direct US involvement. They could strike with missiles but Iranian strategic military assets are well protected under ground and the Iranians have the most modern air defenses. The vulnerabilities of US bases in the Emirates and the risk to the Straight of Hormuz would seem to preclude any overt American attack.
So the most likely Israeli retaliation would come in the form of proxy, covert terror attacks on Iranian civilians.

Here is a new low in Gaza : “the sound of women screaming and babies crying was heard late at night on both Sunday and Monday. When some of the residents went out to investigate and tried to help, they were shot at by Israeli quadcopter drones. The sounds they had heard were in fact recordings played by the Israeli drones, with the intent of forcing the camp’s residents out into the streets, where they could be easily targeted by snipers and other weaponry.”
