The US should assist Israel in taking out Fordow. Iran is in a weakened state and the West may not have this opportunity again in our lifetime. That should be our focus not regime change - let the Israelis handle that - if they can. Based upon Trump's tweet, the US may have sent an ultimatum to what's left of the military leadership of Iran, to "surrender" or we'll send our bunker buster bomb to destroy Fordow after x days.

I realize there's a potential huge downside in the US actively assisting Israel offensively and there may be blow back but, on balance, I think it's worth it.

The US needs to be Boulder!
 
This attack on Iran is entirely misguided in my view. It is basically setting yet another precedent that might makes right in that region.

We had used diplomacy to achieve this end. Then Trump blew that up and here we are with war. Making Iran look powerless is not going to help. If history is any guide, the Iranians will just double down on terror. Or quintuple. They will plan their own Oct 7.

And what's the point? To take out a military capability that Iran doesn't have and would never use?

Yeah, this is a major problem. We have this idea that if the Ayatollah falls, good things will happen but I have seen no indication that there exists any organized opposition that could step into the void.

The fact that the Shah's son is a player in the resistance should be sobering. He was rightfully hated and deposed, and I can't imagine anyone wants to go back to those days.
 


Channel 12 seems to consistently publish stories predicting that the U.S. will do what Bibi wants, so grain of sand warning here …

The past 4 days have demonstrated we have that opportunity anytime we want. Iran has had virtually no defense.

Why wouldn't they rebuild their defenses - perhaps with China or Russia's help?
