    I’m guessing even if it was a perfectly executed strike, they will still have a nuclear program. Maybe it sets them back, which I’m not saying isn’t meaningful. But does it set them back 1 year or 5 years?

    Long term costs I think depends more on whether their regime collapses or not - and that’s not imminent. If the regime stays, anyone seriously think they give up terrorism or ambitions for nukes? Might even make them more radical. This move now basically makes it regime change or bust.

    I’m not negative on the strikes, I’d even lean towards saying they needed to happen or inevitably were going to be an outcome from Oct 7. But I don’t want to see us do a “mission accomplished” song and dance.

    This was very much needed. The regime need to be gone. The Iranian/Persians are wonderful people. Very friendly and intelligent. I have worked with many.

    The last thing we need to be involved in is a regime change. Our track record is awful

    Maybe it was required and inevitable, but we are back in war in the Middle East.

    Really. We may have just prevented Iran dropping nuclear bombs on the US and Israel. I guess you would have preferred Iran dropping a bomb on the US. It has been said it they were working on a nuclear bomb that would have hit the eastern seaboard.

    Saudi Arabia may hate Iran more than they hate the Israeli’s. The Sunni’s are not upset no matter what they say.

    So you think Iran wants to develop a nuke to drop on our Eastern seaboard so that we can then proceed to wipe their entire country out of existence?

    Only a fool would believe that Iran was about to nuke the US or Israel

    Dsmn straight.

    ...of course they would do it the brave and courageous way, and slip it in through some dummy proxy...and all our America hating lefties would be all:

    "...don't attack poor Iran... it wasn't them! It was just the baddie X [=proxy]! Let's just prosecute X in court!"

    Lol!

    Would you would have preferred to wait until they had a nuclear bomb dropped on Isreal?

    If you need to ask that question, you need some serious help.
