Things have been happening so fast in the Israel v. Iran war that it’s hard to keep up, and Iran’s present Internet blackout doesn’t help. What can be said is that Israel has been preparing for this for a very long time.

This may well be the next stage, despite a chorus of opposition from the US Right Wing to any American involvement and a belief that Israel has bitten off more than it can chew, as the saying goes. No-one sensible wants this to be a repeat of Tony Blair and Dubya’s adventure in Iraq.
