#1 Followed by ground invasion? Like Poland 1939?

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

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

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

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

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

#8 Regime change can be the only goal of such an operation.

#9 We have to get out of the mindset that ALL military activity requires boots on the ground.

#11 So does oil production facilities = oil refineries? Might Bibi take it literally rather than figuratively??

#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.

#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. ;-)
