    Hit them with what, exactly? Their missiles?

    I may be wrong, but it sounds like a bluff. They've already been attacking US interests through the Houthis and we've done very little.

        It's a bit about conforming to history. The management of Iran is already located back in the dark ages, why not put the economics of the country in the same status? There is no reason Iran should be allowed to deliver such a vicious and random attack on the citizens of Israel. Individual citizens should not be hurt but Iran should be rendered economically unworkable. It's time to neuter Iran.

          *copy pasted from the pagers thread for your convenience

          Opening a betting pool for targets.

          1 khark island (Iran’s main oil terminal)
          2 nuclear facilities.
          3 revolutionary guard headquarters
          4 Iran national bank in Tehran
          5 all of the above
          6 none if the above.

            FIFY. There is no possible way to target a regime without hurting some individual citizens.

                    Not sure how accurate this analysis is, but it’s as good as any I’ve read or seen.

                    Don’t know what this guys background is.

                      Saw a comment that France will not support the Israeli retaliation against Iran.

                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                        Taking out their ballistic missile capability sounds pretty proportional to me. Restrained even.

                                          Iran will turn out to be a paper tiger ala Iraq. It's such a shame, there are millions of decent Persians living there that don't want this. I have had the pleasure of speaking with many Irani's during my vacays in Mexico. This is what they all say. They are ashamed for their country. Israel and our tech could neuter them for a long time if there was a will. But what stops them from crippling the oil in the meantime? Need to break out my Risk game and develop a strategy.
