    That’s what Israel wants. They want Iran to get pulled in and then further justify asking the West for more military aid and “support” to launch another “war” in it’s “defense”. Fucking terrorist regime in power unfortunately for Palestinians and Israelis.

      Iran literally funds terrorists and advocates for the destruction of Israel

      Israel could invade and conquer Iran tomorrow and they have not.

      Iran’s military is as much a bungling shit-show as Iraq, Russia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc. There is no universe in which Israel needs US help to shatter Iran.

      Last time Iran even got close to enriching weapons-grade uranium, Israel launched airstrikes and flattened the plant, completely uncontested and without any reprisal from Iran, who knows they can’t win.

        “Israel could invade and conquer Iran tomorrow and they have not.”

        Why haven’t they then? Why hasn’t the US? Ever heard of millenium challenge 2002 for example? Invading Iran is not as easy as you seem to think. Iran has a geography that makes invasion very very difficult, strong natural defences. It would have otherwise been already invaded.

          US doesn’t because it isn’t politically feasible, domestically or abroad

          Israel doesn’t because they’re trying to normalize relationships with neighboring countries, and have had a lot of success, which is why Iran funds Hamas.

          Iran’s army is hot garbage and their terrorist government is barely clinging to power as it is.
