Iran is so weak - I am not sure why people aren’t encouraging this more.
Only-Sleep1486@reddit
I'm absolutely against Iran, but an Israeli strike on Iranian facilities would most probably trigger an Iran War. Now, even if this war was restricted to the skies and only saw the use of aircraft and projectiles, the intense aerial bombardment combined with sabotage would set back Iran's nuclear weapons program by roughly a decade, so the operation wouldn't even yield long-term success. The bonus? The Iranians are of the mindset that if they can't sell oil, no one else in the region will be able to, so although Israeli or US attacks targeting Iran's oil infrastructure would be necessary to strangle the Iranian military's revenues, the attacks would be met by massive Iranian retaliation targeting the Gulf Cooperation Council states, i.e. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain and yes- even Qatar. There simply aren't enough missile batteries or fighters to intercept the thousands of Iranian missiles and drones. A single Houthi attack in 2019 on Saudi Arabia slashed 5% of daily global oil production. What do you think an Iran War would mean?
We all know Iran's navy and air force can't do shit, which is why all the talk about Iran always revolves around their missiles and drones, of which they have enough in their inventory to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz for at least two weeks. Keep in mind, the Houthi blockade on the Red Sea has already cost the global economy \~$1 trillion dollars. China, Japan, South Korea and India import about 70-90% of their oil from the Persian Gulf. Even if Iran disrupted the strait with missiles and drones for a week, most tankers aren't going to take the risky route, which means Asia isn't going to get the oil they need, which means factories come to a standstill because the fractions derived from crude oil are used in nearly everything that gets manufactured. This would lead to a collapse in the global supply chain and a recession that sees most developed economies retract by 4-8% (in GDP) in the following 2 years.
And the worst part is that this limited war wouldn't only fail to entirely dismantle Iran's nuclear program, but it would also fail to topple the regime not only because they'd easily reproduce from their own ashes like the fanatics they are, but because the inevitably high number of Iranian casualties, both military and civilian, would disillusion sections of the Iranian opposition and radicalize untold numbers of people who would have otherwise been neutral. You'd need US or a US-led coalition's boots on the ground to end Iran's regime and nuclear weapons program, but this decision is so ridiculous for a large number of reasons; it shouldn't even be on the table. But to put it short, any conflict with Iran is guaranteed to result in a US tactical victory and US strategic failure. An Iran War might have moral intent but the negative consequences far outweigh the positive ones.

unsurewhatiteration@reddit
Israel has said for many years that if they thought Iran was on the verge of a functional nuclear weapon, there is nothing they wouldn't do to stop them.
Maybe it's bluster, maybe they think they're really close. 🤷♂️
OptimismNeeded@reddit
The thing is Israel can’t technically achieve this without US involvement and it doesn’t seem like the U.S. wants to help right now.
My bet is at worse, we’ll see another to-for-tat attack like the last one, no direct global impact.
unsurewhatiteration@reddit
IMO Israel's goal is to do this in such a way that the US catches some retaliation shots and must get involved. This is based on that article from yesterday or the day before where the "supreme leader" said that if he gets hit by Israel he will assume that the US is an aggressor as well.
OptimismNeeded@reddit
I think he was just threatening too, Iran doesn’t want the US involved. They will talk about the IS being accountable but will only attack Israeli targets, and will try to minimize those as well.
whatsinthecave@reddit (OP)
Im honestly not familiar with the Middle East. I stay up to date on current events now but I don’t understand the history or why Isreal is carrying out attacks against Palestine and Iran.
unsurewhatiteration@reddit
The Israel/Palestine thing goes back hundreds of thousands of years.
It's super more complicated than this but the basic gist is that both Muslims and Jews (and later Christians) trace their lineage (for the first two literally, for Christians figuratively/spiritually) to Abraham. Hence, Abrahamic religions. However, if you know your Old Testsment stories then you know there was a bit of a succession crisis between his sons Ishmael and Isaac. Each of them had a claim to be his rightful heir. And that...sort of continues to this day.
JMurdock77@reddit
It doesn’t go back “hundreds of thousands of years.” The Zionist movement is only two hundred odd years old. It’s framed as a religious conflict to obfuscate the much simpler reality that it’s a fight over land that each party feels it has a historical right to.
Icy-Delay-444@reddit
Avoid any sharp objects or lit flames when Palestine loses the war it started. You might hurt someone in your raging meltdown.
The_new_Osiris@reddit
That's literally what the religious conflict is all about, numbnuts
Just because you don't believe in either Islam or Judaism does not mean that the inhabitants of Israel and Palestine do not draw from these beliefs given the religiosity in the region
Spottedinthewild@reddit
The Israel Palestine conflict goes back less than a century and it is pure whitewashing to suggest otherwise.
ChilledRoland@reddit
It goes back almost two millennia to when the occupying Roman Empire renamed the persistently-rebellious province of Judaea after the Jews' historic enemies the Philistines which, Latinized, is Palaestina.
Spottedinthewild@reddit
People have such interesting beliefs on this that tend to betray their biases.
I’m curious who is responsible for you having this idea. Is this the ‘Christian Zionist/Evangelical’ understanding I hear mentioned? That’s just a guess on my part, so I apologize if it’s wrong.
It’s ahistorical, based on several misunderstandings of who these groups were, their respective historical eras, and their relationships to each other. Irrelevant to the topic at hand and incorrect as a whole but interesting.
ChilledRoland@reddit
The renaming of the province to Syria Palaestina is literally historical.
Spottedinthewild@reddit
That historical occurrence is not related to the current conflict in any way. Are you able to cogently connect the two?
ChilledRoland@reddit
Quoting myself from a different reply sub thread:
RossaAquila@reddit
Absolute ahistoric slop.
ChilledRoland@reddit
I'm not asserting that the current decedents of Arab invaders are actually Philistines, I'm saying that the whole concept of "Palestine" was & is a ham-fisted attempt to erase the Jews' connection to that land.
TheIrishBread@reddit
It goes back to political Zionism (1860s) and more specifically the 1917 Balfour Decree. That's what set the events in motion that led to the situation we have nowadays, the modern conflict is completely divorced from anything pre ottoman apart from the religious veneer some people like to tack onto it in a way to simplify the conflict much the same way people claim the troubles was a purely sectarian conflict.
The fall of the Ottomans plays a part (mostly by making the ethnic group that now makes up Palestinians aggrieved) and that's solely on the Brits for over promising and under delivering to the groups they enlisted to fight the Ottomans and more importantly promising one thing (self determination for those in the region) and then back tracking and endorsing another plantation.
flaming_burrito_@reddit
It’s not whitewashing, and it’s historically ignorant to state that this conflict just appeared out of nowhere a century or so ago. The history of the Jewish diaspora and their persecution is essential to understanding why so many Jewish people wanted a majority Jewish ethnostate in the first place. The origin of Zionism has a lot to do with religious and racial beliefs, but that is not the reason why most Jews actually went to Israel.
RossaAquila@reddit
That’s because they are. The Zionist movement saw and described itself as a settler-colonialist project in an era where settler-colonialism was acceptable. Zionism was secular in nature and retroactively utilised religious sentiment. And now religious Zionism drives the Israeli state hence their categorical inability to stop settler expansion.
Pretending it’s some ancient religious blood feud that drives actions today does nothing but mask the motivations of the modern Israeli state.
flaming_burrito_@reddit
Zionism does not mean the same thing it meant back then, and the vast majority of Jews even before the establishment of Israel in 48 did not go there because of the settler-colonial project thing the creator of Zionism envisioned. In the very early days (late 1800s) you could argue that was the goal, but they still bought the land legally from the ottomans, and they were only in the tens of thousands for a few decades. The population only started blowing up in the 1930’s and again after 48, I wonder what historical context people always leave out could have caused that?
The truth of the matter is most Jews who went to Israel in that period were escaping the rise of antisemitism in Europe, the Holocaust, progroms in the Soviet Union, or were expelled by the neighboring Arab states after the 48 war. Paint them as settler-colonialists and revise history all you want, the world literally proved the Zionists right throughout the 30’s and 40’s. Where else were they going to go? Should they have stayed in the in Europe where they were almost exterminated and their property was stolen from them? They couldn’t all go to America, they wouldn’t all be let in. And none of the other European countries volunteered to be their new homeland, they didn’t want millions of Jews either.
I don’t even agree with what Israel is doing right now, but this Europe-centric ahistorical bullshit pisses me off.
HistoricalWash6930@reddit
But the claim was it goes back hundreds or thousands of years. Even your generous definition of it is only maybe 150 years max.

Fact check people here cause I read the Israeli-Palestinian conflict dates back to the end of the nineteenth century. In 1947, the United Nations adopted a A resolution called the Partition Plan, which looked to divide the British Mandate of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states.
whatsinthecave@reddit (OP)
I just read about that 181 plan and it was never implemented because of the Arabian war??? And the Middle East has pretty much fought over it since then.
soymilkmolasses@reddit

SigmaINTJbio@reddit
Just to be clear, the now UK took Israel from the Ottomans in war. They then owned it. They created the State of Israel and gave it to the Jews. Afterwards, Israel was repeatedly attacked by Muslim nations and Israel prevailed each time. Israel also repeatedly ceded land for “peace” and the peace never lasted. Iran has the stated intention of wiping the Jews out of Israel and off the face of the earth. Simply searching history reveals all what I wrote to be factual. Iran is and always been an existential threat to Israel and the Jews. What should they do?
whatsinthecave@reddit (OP)
Isreal is absolutely wrong for the brutality of their affairs. I agree that Isreal is a recognized state and Iran has denounced Isreal and threatened it. But Isreal is in the fryer atm for their brutality to Palestine. Hamas is a very small group of people. The entire civilization is suffering. Of course they will be terrorists against Isreal after / if they recover. Or they will denounce Hamas, but only if Isreal stops this nonsense.
My two cents is trump is too old for this and the US was a global superpower up until this point. Our intervention has also been key in conflicts because of their conflicts influence on our economy.
Outside_Bed5673@reddit
Hamas controlled the schools, taxes the food, and created a tunnel system with billions of dollars of donations that was as large as the NY subway system.
Iran funded and armed Hezbollah (well until the pagers exploded) Iraqi shiite paramilitaries, Huthis in Yemen, and have stated their goal is the destruction of Israel - for years. Why did those pagers explode? Google how many rockets were fired by Lebanon since the day after 10/7. Its in the thousands.
Iran sells Shahed drones to Putin to terrorize Ukraine. That money goes to Islamists that call for the destruction of the West.
I do not like Netanyahu for trying to support right wing politicians from the US to Eastern Europe. One must understand Palestinians are in Jordan, Egypt, Syria and Lebanon. The walls and checkpoints were put up after the Intifada when Arafat rejected a two state solution and peace. If Israel, who has fought 1949, 1967, 1973, two intifadas, Iran recently loses one war there will be a mass slaughter and "the river to the sea" will become an illiberal Islamist state.

Israel is broadcasting on live TV their intentions in Gaza.

Absolutely, because they don't fear any significant retaliation from Hamas.
Iran has already demonstrated that they can penatrate Israeli air defenses, including THAAD.

What you're talking about was actually a response/retaliation of Iran launching 200 missiles and drones @ Israel. I'd say Iran was expecting that.
owencox1@reddit

PreppersParadigm@reddit
I actually just covered this in a video on my news channel. It looks like Israeli leadership sees a short window to hit Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, and U.S. intel is taking it seriously.
If it happens, I think the most immediate impact for folks in the U.S. probably won’t be missiles or war, but fuel prices. Anything that threatens oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz tends to send prices skyrocketing — and Iran could use that as leverage in retaliation.
Ok_Entry_3485@reddit
It's an interesting development. On one hand, Israel may not intend to strike and merely leaked this to put pressure on Iran to nut up at the negotiating table.
On the other hand, seeing the earlier reports of Trump distancing himself from Netanyahu and, now this story, is very concerning...

whatsinthecave@reddit (OP)
I just did a quick review of Iran and Israel’s history and relationship between 1940 and now. I honestly have to say that this is insanity, I’ve never understood foreign affairs a ton because im so young. I recently started becoming aware after seeing some stuff about Palestine. The fact that this is primarily over religious beliefs and proxy stuff I don’t understand makes this so much more frustrating for me. I feel like religion in both the US and otherwise can be used in insane ways and I truly don’t understand it!
Either way, im going to do my best to educate myself but I saw this current event and couldn’t understand why this was happening.
DJBombba@reddit
Religion and authoritarianism can go hand to hand.
Unfortunately, Israel and Iran had no issues pre-islamic revolution.
It’s really a proxy conflict between Saudi and Iran as look at the allies of each.
Iranian diaspora dislike the current regime even those in Iran too. Unfortunately, the world powers will take action if Iran get nukes.
Think about this, why wouldn’t Pakistan not help their fellow islamic countries to build nukes?
Nuclear weapons is a form of a deterrence, something Ukraine shouldn’t have gave up in the past.

Israel striking Iran will be without American support, this israeli project is over, it’s the finale, and if “israel” attacks Iran’s nuclear sites there’s no one that will defend the apartheid.
Logical___Conclusion@reddit
It is important to note the source of this story being "two unnamed US government officials that approached CNN." Which likely means that there was an intended goal of the US in making this story. Including:
1) A way of shifting blame for the attack on Israel. Even though the US has been sending Israel special bunker busting bombs specifically for an Israeli attack in Iran.
2) As a warning to Iran that expedient progress in the Doha talks are needed to hold off an Israeli attack.
3) As a complication to the stated Iranian response to any attack that they would target 50,000 US soldiers in the range of Iran's 80,000 or so estimated ballistic missiles.
4) As a signal to Russia that has a defense agreement with Iran. Especially since a number of experts have said that penetrating nuclear bombs would be needed to target Iran's hardened underground bases of ballistic missiles and nuclear facilities.

The US will always take Israel's side. Trump hated the Iran nuclear deal. He has no good will towards them. To say that he would "take Iran's side" is fucking absurd. He might be Putin's bitch, but he isn't fond of Middle Eastern countries that don't do business with him. His embrace of Saudi Arabia and Qater probably give Israel even more of a green light. This will end with Yemen, Palestine, and Iran being erased if he gets his way.
