The will to survive is not as important as the will to prevail... the answer to criminal aggression is retaliation. - Jeff Cooper
Israel has a tough decision to make. How will they respond to Iran's drone and missile attack without escalating into a larger Mid-East war? There is no question that Israel will respond, even with the US pressuring them not to answer the attack. For Israel to let it go would be a signal for Iran to strike again, and this time without notice and a devastating onslaught.
Joe Biden first and foremost must tread lightly when it comes to China. Biden is so beholden to the Chinese that he must forgo any serious help to China's enemies. Remember, China has the goods on Biden. He is their puppet. China has paid the Biden family so much money that they control his moves. Biden cannot take a chance that China will turn over incriminating evidence to the New York Times, the Washington Post, and CNN.
Biden's treasonous enrichment of his family at US taxpayer expense via cash from China and other nations will force him out of office in disgrace with possible prison terms for Hunter, Joe, and Jim.
Israel is a threat to Iran so China is willing to hurt Israel to keep the oil flowing from Iran to China. At the risk of losing the Jewish Democrat vote in America, Biden will cave to China and Iran and stay out of more conflict with Israel. So Biden says for now. Let's see if Biden can take the pressure if Iran wants to escalate further.
Israel has many targets that would do serious damage to Iran. Here are my thoughts on what would send a message to stop trying to attack Israel:
Disable Iran's ability to ship oil via the sea. Destroy their port facilities so that Iran can only ship oil by truck or train. This will virtually cut off China from Iran's oil. This will also deprive Iran of cash derived from oil production and hurt their economy. The people of Iran will still have access to oil.
Strike their nuclear facilities in such a way that it sets back their ability to create nuclear weapons for a long time.
Take out their permanent missile sites. There is not much you can do about mobile sites. Destroy their drone and missile factories. This may take days but it must be done.
Find and kill the commanders who planned the attack on Israel.
The message must be clear that if Iran tries this again, the next retaliation will be devastating. Israel has nuclear capability and will use it if they fear the destruction of their civilization is upon them. Always remember, Israel will stop fighting if the Muslims stop fighting. Israel was attacked. Israel does not want war. Other nations in the region know this. Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates have helped because of the Abraham Accords.
You will find an excellent article in the Guardian that goes into more detail. See the footnote below. 1
