I say we and Israel bomb their Oil fields. Bankrupt them. It will a cut off a shit ton of funding for Iran Proxies and their Nuclear program. Use incendiaries.

That might feel good, but as @DEFCON Warning System pointed out, that would spike oil prices. The countries who consume Iranian oil would need to get it elsewhere, driving up demand for the remaining oil from those sources. That could have devastating economic impacts well beyond the middle east. My guess is that the this retaliation does not target oil fields or refineries. But, I would not count out an oil field strike in subsequent attacks if Iran responds.

I still think its the best option if Israel wants cripple Iranian funds for Jihadi proxy groups. Nobody gives a crap about ecology during a war, harsh but its true. I am thanking strategically and military here not political. Its not like we are targeting their food or water supply which I am pretty sure is a War Crime.

My cynical view is the only reason why is because we (The West) think we will be able to have access or control it again in the future.

If we ever had to put boots on the ground in Iran the Iranians would just burn it all themselves.

My other proposal is that Israel use Mossad to assassinate the Iranians that fund and control these proxy groups, decapitate their intelligence and leadership as much as possible.

This might sound also crazy but steal their gold, bomb their major banks. If not their oil than their other finances.

Maybe but if it’s inland it will stay in Iran as they do not have a single river. (Kinda the opposite of Melody/River Song 🤨)

I’m referring to oil on the ground from tanks, not blowing well caps, which is always stupid.

Poor guys. They literally won't know what hit them when the time comes.

Let's say war does break out. Won't Iran's population rebel if they try to institute a draft?

The ulta-orthodox ones will, despite the recent court ruling against their having immunity from being drafed.

They want their little religious state but not enough that they might have to grow a pair and fight for it.

I thought Isreal was supposed to respond tonight?

No that was misinformation, Israel said it will as a fact attack Iran, but never gave a exact time other then "there time and place of choosing."

I could never find any confirmation that they said it would of been last night.

The IDF has it hands full at the moment. Even without the need for the IDF to backstop their hugely committed forces, I wouldn’t expect a complex air campaign of choice to be initiated, 2000km+ away the same day.

That is why I went to bed extremely early last night so I could be up extremely early in the morning AM hours today. I did not expect them to retaliate immediately and it turns out they didn't, I made the right choice.

Now I can be up/alert to monitor & report when it is needed the most.

Israel has declared UN Secretary General António Guterres persona non grata and banned him from entering the country.

For context the UN Secretary General condemned Israel yesterday for attacks against it instead of condemning Iran for Iran attacking Israel.

So please I'd love anyone to say that UN is not bias against Israel and a useless peice of trash not even worth wiping your own butt with.

I wonder if it'd be so smart of Israel to go for oil production rather than more strategic military sites and factories. A worse global economic situation because of it can bite Israel back in their ass later down the line.

All we can say is Iran was warned. Very clearly too. Whatever happens is a result on them and their actions in funding terrorism across the globe and against Israel for to many years now. Actions have consequences and Israel is about to remind them of that. Israel cannot alow this continue or let Iran be able to nuclear blackmail them either.
