Israel’s retaliation against Iran would cause ‘major war’ | Jonathan Panikoff
“Israel could have an overwhelming response that would almost be certain to instigate a much larger conflict in a war.”
Israel see a retaliation against Iran as “necessary” to deter further attacks, says director of the Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative Jonathan Panikoff.

Oil Prices are skyrocketing and western countries economy are getting weaker and weaker.
What a thing to say! It is better to say that Iran's attack could cause a major war. It is also not Netanyahu everyone wants a retaliation. Left and right.

Pretty reasonable to be worried about the current situation. I don't think most people realise how tenuous the situation is and how a couple of wrong moves / miscalculations / missteps could trigger a huge regional war.

How would the USA respond if Iran launched 300 missiles/rockets at it?

How would the US respond if someone bombed their consulate and killed a bunch of important people? Israel attacked Iran, Iran responded, this is not complicated. Iran has even been so gracious as to say the matter is now concluded, even though they killed zero people in return. If Israel is so eager for war they decline this easy win, they are lead by psychotic leaders.

Exactly. Though of late there’s been this nonsensical obsession with “not escalating” that no president of the past would understand. You get attack..you respond

Remove the threat.
"Proportionate" response - conservatively about 10X, since Iran is much larger and more populous. Based on land area, about 75X.

Iran is defenceless
Reminds me of the July Crisis 1914.
If I were causing the debt crisis, the mathematical reason for the escalation of wars could be attributed to several factors: 1. **Resource Competition:** As debt grows larger, there may be increased competition for resources among nations, leading to conflicts over access to vital commodities such as oil, minerals, and water. 2. **Economic Instability:** A mounting debt crisis can destabilize economies, leading to unemployment, poverty, and social unrest. In such circumstances, leaders may resort to military interventions or conflicts to divert attention from domestic problems. 3. **Political Pressure:** Leaders facing scrutiny over economic mismanagement or failure to address debt issues may use military actions as a means to rally public support and strengthen their political position. 4. **Historical Precedent:** Throughout history, periods of economic crisis and debt accumulation have often been accompanied by increased militarization and conflicts as nations seek to assert their influence and protect their interests. Overall, the mathematical reason for the escalation of wars in the face of a growing debt crisis may stem from a combination of economic, political, and social factors that create conditions conducive to conflict.
Old saying, keep your hands to yourself.
Why does bibi need to listen to a president who has no military background and very little knowledge of how things go in that region. Bit unfair 😮
Imagine the terror in the Israeli pilots' minds flying over Iran, 1500 miles away from home. I don’t think the same Gulf Arabs that hate Iran and helped them catch a lot of Iran's firecrackers, are gonna let IAF jets land on their air bases nearby.

The "West" is never going to fight Israel, and I'm far from certain the "West" is going to do much more for Ukraine. But the US alone could cause immense damage to Iran, more than enough to render it incapable of further action, and Russia is not in a good position to help Iran much either.
