    This might be a fatal blunder from the iranian part. If this action has an iranian/hezbollah signature then we may expect, very soon, the IDF response. Let there be no doubt about that.

    What bothers me is that they seem to WANT us to attack. Maybe they’re nuts, maybe not. We have to be careful….

    The official number of dead israeli people is now ten ( 10 ) and, as it is, its already very big. I won’t say that the jets are already in the air, but it will be an israeli reaction, may be even the real thing.

    So if we put ourselves in Netanyahu’s shoes, what are his options now? He’s already declared publicly that “all signs point to Iran …Israel will respond forcefully to the Iranian terror.”.
    Is there any small-scale response option to use against Iran? Or is it just all or nothing?

      There is no small scale response to be used; this is an act of war and Israel will response adequately because we have, this time, some kind of international moral backing which, if not used swiftly, will vapor in the hot air of Middle East. This time Israel will react very strong against Iran , who doesn’t expect something ”special” to happen after an ” usual ” act of terror, which they try to execute all the time. Only this time is different.

    It’s also the ideal time of the month in the lunar cycle for an Iran strike. The new moon is tomorrow.
    Honestly I think it’s finally “go time”. Fasten your set belts folks……

    Nnothing will happen. As terrible as this crime is its far too early to say exactly who was responsible, plus 3 dead isn’t worth a war over. Netanyahu isn’t a fool, he wont get bogged down in a war with Hezbollah in lebanon and he wont attack Iran either. What lies ahead is a very long cold war with iran with the iranians getting nukes in the next 4-5 years. Attacking Iran will not stop the nuclear work, even John Bolton knows this now. This is the unfortunate reality of failed diplomacy.

      A preemptive israeli attack on the syrian WMD is under preparations as we speak and the ” old ” friends hezbollah and Iran are also on the ” dissection ” table . This barbarian attack against innocent israelis youth will be the trigger which will take Iran down. Israel just got itself justification- if Israel ever needed one – for act and even the americans will have a very hard time trying to nullify that.
