    calling total bullshit.

    if Israel could take game changing and vicious, shocking action to end hostilities, they would just do it as they have demonstrated zero compunction for inhumane acts and crimes countless times already.

    if there is any ace up their sleeve it is compromising material against key decision makers in the US natsec apparatus.

    Others already said it but I’d wager it’s either having the US military join (more likely) or a nuke (less likely because if that was their move they would’ve done it already).

    Either one of those or they’ll annouce they’ve compromised infant formula in Iran and have bombs inside all Iranian children ready to blow. Some evil sick Zionazi shit like that.

    They’ll probably finally launch a nuke at Iran and pretend it’s some kind of act of strategic brilliance like when they committed that beeper terror attack and all the news agencies pretended it was a brilliant strategic move.

    1. Nuclear strike which the entire western media lines up to justify and condemn anyone questioning it as antisemitic, most likely on the hardened Iranian mountain nuclear facility but could target a city as well.

    2. Devastating cyberweapon which does physical damage to infrastructure and/or military, maybe even kind of crashing planes and trains type of deal.

    3. Rapid assassination of multiple top leadership in Iran including possibly Khamenei in a decapitating strike type of move that at the very least leaves Iran a bit disoriented.

    Honestly we shouldn’t underestimate them. They pulled off the pager attack, they seem to know exactly where top people are hour to hour to kill them, they killed Nasrallah, and they used stuxnet and I assume continued to develop along those lines. They are also absolutely shameless and genocidal and know the western world will cover for them if they use nukes and claim it was in self defense and make up lies about how Iran was even at the moment of the strike assembling their own nuke to fire at pissrael and only nuking them stopped it and yada yada.

    Guess it could also be

    1. US enters war directly, starts using bunker busters and hitting Iranian launch sites. Could easily see them disable 90% of Iranian missile launch capabilities for advanced weapons capable of penetrating the zionist entity’s defenses and leaves them only more mobile less sophisticated and more easily intercepted and thus shrugged off older weapons.

      The pager attack wasn’t targeted, it was just distributing thousands of exploding pagers/walkie-talkies and then pushing a button that exploded them all.

      Killing Iran’s “top people” is mostly bullshit as these top people in things like politics and the sciences are public figures who have publicly available addresses and do things like “go outside” and “buy food from the grocery store”.

      Like, the nuclear research programs aren’t secret. Iran isn’t engaged in a super secret Manhattan style project where all their top scientists are kept in underground bunkers for decades with no contact with the outside world, right?

      Israel has had a fuckton of time to infiltrate Iranian society and decades to set up things like the local exploding drone shops though. However, how long can those last after an actual war is started?

        This is all correct, partially because Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program. Their nuclear scientists are civilians working on power production. They (until now) had no reason to hide.

        The rot goes deep enough that it will be a significant undertaking that should have been done 20 years ago. Better late than never I suppose but how do you do counterintelligence when your counterintelligence people are deeply infiltrated too? Doesn’t help that there are plenty of willing traitors and Shah supporting diaspora in the recruiting pool.

      I think using a nuke this “early” (for lack of a better word) might be the only thing that gets people and institutions to stop covering for Isreal. I’m not gonna count on it, but if anything will, it’d be a nuke.

      Wishful thinking, probably.
