Israel needs to, and might intend to, take out all nuclear facilities in Iran, as well as drawing all Islamists into the fight and dealing with them all together.

An ex-professional soldier, now consultant, suggests that Iran should be turned into Pearl Harbour.

Talking about Pearl Harbour?

Even today babies are being born with deformities
as a result of this event and retaliation by the
Americans. Innocents always suffer. Shame on anyone
wishing to inflict this type of warfare. There are
no winners.

Talking about "professional" soldiers?

It all depends on the soldiers involved doesn't it.
Some end up turning mercenaries. Others who were
awarded medals have had the medals taken from
them due to war crimes.

So it all depends.

Whys that Foxy, because they're all breathing in asbestos in Gaza?

Hamas aren't destroyed, and Hezbollah aren't either by any means.
I saw a report this morning about Hamas that said tunnels in Jabalia that were previously disabled by the Israeli army are back in operation, and that the Israeli forces noted that the militants were fighting 'as at the beginning of the ground operation' using cameras and booby traps and 'with a desire to fight' and the 'courage to approach the Israeli forces'. I've seen recent footage of Hamas targeting tanks and armoured vehicles.

Hezbollah fired 100 missiles on Haifa yesterday, and 200 missiles on Safed today, in in ground operations they reported some 34 Israelis killed and 200 injured. They're planning to target a lot more industrial, communications and other infrastructure if Israel continues to escalate.

I'm not sure what Israels plan is.
Certainly they have this whole 'rebuild the Middle East' thing, but I think it's all a bit delusional, on account it doesn't factor in Russia and China, unless they plan to take out Khamenei.

Israel could be planning to hit Iran hard and force them to respond and 'take the bait', so that America is dragged into it.

Dear Paul

What credible threat is there of a nuclear attack on North Korea? Who could possibly want to bother, and why – unless it is to knock out the nuclear capability of a rogue state with a weird leader. Ditto Iran. In both cases, the only reason they may face a nuclear threat, is because they are one.

Brilliantly put Rhian.
