I too believe Israel will attack Iran, again. The timing I’m not sure of.

What is very concerning to me is that Israel may resort to using nuclear weapons. Israel’s leadership, appears to me to be toxic, delusional having a belief in some sort of entitlement above all others. The US leadership is similar in this idea of exceptionalism – and they too have used nukes. But they are exponentially more powerful than Israel.

So, MY biggest concern remains, nuclear weapons will be used.

Russia and China will inevitably lose patience with Israel and the US.
For what it’s worth- I believe we are already in the 3rd world war. Those that look back on this time will likely conclude that same thing.

For Israel’s continued existence- yes, it could come to an end.
The end of Israel may be sad for some. And for others it may be a means to bring about regional stability-

For now, I worry about greatly expanded war and the use of nuclear weapons

Hi Penny:
From the people I read, I think that Israel has not learned its lesson and it will attack again. The question would appear to be not if they are going to attack again, but when. The losing side in a war is normally the one to want a ceasefire. That’s Ukraine in Russia vs Ukraine and it was Israel in Israel vs Iran. As far as a ceasefire goes in Ukraine, Russia says OK after we achieve our objectives which we have clearly outlined many times. Otherwise we will just ignore you and finish what we set out to do. I think Iran agreed to the US ceasefire to try and stop the US from attacking Iran directly. Also, Iran was winning the war and could afford to take a chance on the ceasefire working. If Israel attacks again, even with US help, Russia and China cannot afford to let Iran loose. When the people calling the show on the other side are delusional, your chances of winning are good. I am against Israel attacking Iran again as it may result in the middle east map changing with no Israel in it. That would be a sad outcome.
