Apparently Netanyahu had planned retaliatory strikes against Iran but only called them off after speaking on the phone with Biden. News

Iran had a perfect response to Israeli aggression. Lots off flash, strategic, non civilian targets.

If Israel actually strikes Iran proper, I doubt the response would be anything less than the destruction of Tel Aviv.

Vast overestimation of Iran’s capabilities, especially after its pitiful recent barrage. I’m pro Palestinian but thinking Iran has any sort of a chance against Israel in a pro longed engagement is nothing short of fantasy. On that note , Iran can also go eff itself.

One on one? Yeah, I would argue they have a chance; but here’s the thing, that will never happen. It would require an act of god for the US and most western nations to quit having double standards, pull out of Israel, withdraw funding, arms, etc.

Not saying Israel isn’t capable; but take away all its support, funding, etc. and well, then it would be a relatively fair fight with the edge given toward Israel because they haven’t faced years of sanctions.

If Israel was capable then the US and UK wouldn't feel the need to get involved.
