>>508634541 (OP)Israel was high on the recent success in Syria and thought they could topple Iran with a decapitation strike of IRGC leadership, followed by American cleanup. They didnโt count on:
1. Iranโs missiles turning Tel Aviv into rubble
2. Iranโs people rallying behind the regime
3. A massive global surge in antisemitism
4. A huge fracture in Trumpโs base
5. China, North Korea, Russia and China offering nuclear warheads to Iran
If they went ahead with regime change it could have ended with the end of Israel and the American Empire. Too risky! So they have to decided to catch their breath and lick their wounds before the next attempt
