You are twisting yourself into a pretzel here denying something as obvious as the sky being blue, my friend: Iran stopped nuclear proliferation while JCPOA was in effect.
He's an IDF shill and Netanyahu dicksucker. No matter what points you make, he's just going to gaslight you and make excuses. No point.
He was actually defending Netanyahu helping to fund Hamas for years as if that was a good thing.
I don't listen to Israeli analysts or state speakers when it comes to this. The chief report I watched was a CBS report, and the analyst was a woman, a former Pentagon official whose work focused on Israel, Iran, and that area.
CBS didn't say no Iranian civilians were killed so I don't know what your point is.
What do they stand to lose by asking? They've obliterated the top ranks of Iranian military command, key nuclear development personnel, and have wiped out a staggering amount of Iran's most critical infrastructure to a conflict...in the first three days. It's exactly how things went with Hamas and Hezbollah. We were told this wouldn't matter, and Hezbollah would fight forever. They didn't. They tapped out.
It's the same sort of highly precise, highly targeted blitzkrieg-by-air strategy we saw with those former foes. A famous adage in carpentry is "Measure twice, cut once." That seems to be what Israel has done. They plan long and meticulously, then when the moment comes, they eliminate the entire list of targets before their enemy even knows what's happening, or can scramble to adapt. These are the most sophisticated, comprehensive ambushes we've ever witnessed in warfare.
As an American who has seen how badly my own country has fucked this up over the past three decades...I'm a bit jelly.
1. They fucked us over and are trying to force the situation. It's as if South Korea just unilaterally attacked North Korea forcing the US to step in when we were already in talks with Kim Jong Un to de-nuclearize.
2. Hama only controls a tiny geographic area. Hezbollah is only concentrated in small parts of Lebanon in the suburbs of Beirut.
Meanwhile, Iran is a giant country with a population of 90 million with lots of mountains where they can hide military installations. It is not possible for Israel to take out all of Iran's military without the US's help. Nor do regime change without boots on the ground. And Israel does not have the ability to invade Iran with boots on the ground - only the US does.
See how popular it would be to the American populace to have US troops on the ground in Iran. We do not want it. Israel can fuck right off and fight their own wars.
