At least he has not escalated it into Iran, although they are aiding and abetting these strikes on the USA that killed the 3 soldiers.

The more the war between Israel and Gaza escalates, the higher the threat of a US led invasion of Iran. Even the middle eastern countries would be on board - like Saudi. Pakistan will also be on board, what with the current conflict between Iran and Pakistan. Hope that does not happen because the Iranian regime may be crappy, but the people there are great.
I do not believe that the USA want to draw Iran into the conflict. Although the Iranians are arming the militant groups like Hezbollah as well as the Houthis, they pretend to distance themselves
from the acts of terrorism. The USA's retaliatory actions are more subdued than expected. But hopefully this will not escalate into a full regional war.

Netanyahu should say that enough is enough and then get back on the negotiating table to get back the remaining hostages. The situation in Gaza is dire, with so many women and kids losing their lives, limbs and family members. Very sad state of affairs!!

The amount of prep and financial and military commitment to knock out Iran would be enormous - several times Desert Storm. Iran is 4 x the size of Iraq.

Assuming the US armed forces could smash the Ayatollah's army - which it likely could - you would have intifada bullshit within 6 months. And the US couldn't commit to holding Iran.

Plus, taking out Iran gives you a big common border with Russian satellite states in the Caucasus and east of the Caspian Sea.

The strikes in Syria and Iraq were to hit 'Iranian' targets.
Biden is escalating Netanyahu's genocide.

Yet its been Netanyahu's dream for decades now, he really wants the war to continue and escalate.
Without it he's done.

Biden is not only aiding Netanyahu's genocide he's now helping him spread war throughout the middle east.
You can say goodbye to your polls showing that 113% of Americans support the Palestinian cause.

You want to link this Gulf dispute back to Gaza/West Bank vs. Israel, and now Americans start getting killed? US and Israel will now have a common enemy. It is a bad move for your cause. And if it escalates just wait for UK and other NATO to step up. This conflict in the Gulf against the US strengthens Israel's position.

This may be just as stupid as Oct. 7

Which was a smarter move, Hamas killing 1,200 on Oct. 7 or the killing of these 3 American soldiers?

Which was smarter, ignoring Ben Gurion's warning about apartheid or following Netanyahu's genocidal dream?

The US is soooo unprepared for a war with Iran its not even funny. As it is the US better pray that Iran does not retailate against US bases in the Middle East, because if it does, there will be no US bases in the Middle East, Iran has high percision Supersonic missles, tech which even the US doesn't have and can't defend against. Its bases would be gone before they even can scramble the jets.

And invading Iran would take months to move all the troops into the region, assuming that Iran doesn't sink the troop transports if they do.

As I said way back in Oct.
Hope they flatten Hamas quick before it escalates and drags others in….so much for short term pain for long term gain. Don’t put off to tomorrow what can be done today, Having the wisdom to know what can be changed and what can’t, etc and so on.

Iran has made it clear that they do not want to go to war with the USA. Joe has sent a message with a vet measured and precise response.

Israel has already destroyed 30% of the buildings in Gaza.
They kill 70% women and children.

Enough.

Iran is huge, with no love for Satan USA. The US will not invade Iran, but China is moving toward a soft conquest...

How typical of you. You can only reply with another question as you hide under the covers, too afraid to answer.

You have no honour, conviction or cojones.
