Iran must never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon

11. I doubt they could have kept it secret all this time

there have been no detected tests by the CIA. Iran would have performed them by now for deterrence. That also would have been used by Israel for propaganda.

Iran knew its military was severely outmatched by not just the US (that’s a given), but Israel alone. I think that’s why they have been attempting to negotiate an off ramp for years, even when they kept getting hit by Israel. The retaliatory strikes up until now have been mostly symbolic. If they could have hit back harder, they likely would have. I think Israel has been testing Iran’s defenses for years now, and realized it was mostly a joke.

It was always a paper tiger, except for its terrorist proxies and oil.

That said, this was not our fight. And if this was about regime change, this was up to Iranians to take over their government and have to satisfaction of taking out the ayatollah. Who knows where this leads. Bibi has wanted this for years. We’re just an Israeli mercenary wing, yet we don’t even get paid. We pay them.
