I don’t see Iran going so hard that’s on the table. The last strike was beautifully calibrated to re-establish deterrence while doing little politically useful damage, for example.
The real goal here for Israel is to bolster Netanyahu’s hold on power. Iran would just have to hit back hard enough it makes his situation worse, not better, and they could safely do that without the US umbrella. Of course, it all depends on what “won’t support” means. Time for me to read the article.
Provided Israel doesn’t say fuck it, we’re going nuclear.

Who are “they” and “we” in this context?

Yeah, that’s what I worry about. Usually when it comes to the US on Israel “wouldn’t support” means “would silently disapprove”.deleted by creator
I thought that said “weren’t” for whatever reason. Yeah, that’s good then.
I’m not sure other pro-Israel people would call that pro-Israel, but I agree.
