#13  Iran temporarily shut down Kharg Island after they shot 200 missiles at Israel, Old Patriot, anticipating Israel’s response. I haven’t noticed them turning it back on yet.

All the benefits of hitting the place, with none of the effort or political blowback. ;-)

#12  If Israel destroyed Bandar Abbas and it surroundings, Bushehr, and Parchin and its surroundings, Iran would collapse within a month. Wouldn't hurt to stomp Abadan and Khark Island while they're at it.

#7  Iran only has two ports to import all their highly subsidized gasoline. Blow both of those up and Iran is fucked.

#6  Just take out all modern infrastructure, power, water, POL facilities. And every mosque gets a free set of 2,000 lb bombs.

#4  Israel's successful use of bunker busters must be giving Iran second thoughts.

#3  ^ Agreed! Israel has sufficient ‘stand off’ resources to amply degrade or destroy their intended targets, without calling on Samson.

#2  /\ A 'ground invasion' would be a mistake, for a number of reasons.

#1  Followed by ground invasion? Like Poland 1939?
