File under: Govt of Iran

#1 And any attack or war agz SYRIA by Israel will also be regarded by Iran as an attack by the USA on Iran, even iff Israel does NOT specifically target or attack Iran. Iran itself will likely prefer for Syria to play the "bad guy" since Iran wants to continue proclaiming it is acting in its own self-defense agz the USA in order to entice foreign mil intervention on its behalf, read Russia-China. THE REAL RED LINE IS IN LEBANON + GAZA VV HAMAS + HIZZIES + HEZZIES + HUZZIES, ETAL.

#2 Joe M: Iran is too chicken to fight like a real nation - they will use their proxies but their proxies except for Syria have no Air power or Naval power. Kharg Island is easily won by AF, Navy/Marines and easy to defend with same solution. Israel takes out Syria. Egypt and Jordan in no position to help Syria. Iraq is out of the fight. Turkey is part of NATO and secular army. That leaves Saudis - not their cup of chai. We have Iran hemmed in on three sides - Iraq and Afghanistan and Gulf. No where to hide. No ground forces needed except SpecOps for nuclear and 4CI installations. Leave the Mullahs and leadership in place. Make it quick, surgical and everlasting.
