    You do realize that this is likely to become a 3 front war. Lebanon in the north. And Bibi has to cowtow to his settler base in the West Bank.

      And one of those fronts will effectively be with iran. You seriously don’t want to fuck with the resources they have to throw into war.

        I wonder whether Iran can actually spare an outright war. There is clearly a lot of anti-government energy flowing in Iran, and that won’t have been stamped out by their crackdown on it.

        I wonder whether most everyday Iranians would support a war with Israel.

        Granted, it’s not likely Iran gets directly involved - they’ll just drive their Hezbollah prop.

          I guess it depends on how much the “helping our fellow Muslims” stuff works. I know it would in Egypt at least.

          Iran wouldn’t need to radically shift their budget… the revolutionary guard gets buckets of oil money and maintains a constant high state of readiness.
