Nice thoughts--but just who attacked who first? It wasn't Iran. Which BTW is a sovereign nation. And Israel infiltrated units into Iran to attack missiles launchers, not to mention targeting Iranian personnel in their homes, inside of Tehran. Jeeze! And you think Iran doesn't have the right to counter attack. Fuk me.
And there's no way to 'finish off' Iran without putting boots on the ground, in that country and subjugating them by force--which is highly unlikely.
If I were running Iran was this conflict was over, I'd push aside nuclear development and obtain this Orishnik missile technology from Russia as it can deliver precision devastation on a nuclear scale, without nuclear detonations. Just a few of these missiles could entirely wipe out an entire Israeli naval facility, or that underground military bunker their high-command is hiding in right now. Just maybe 20 to 30 could kick 3 legs out from their military capability--without nuclear collateral damage.
But now Iran is going to triple down on their nuclear development and assemble a bomb ASAP. And if you note, no one--absolutely no one screws with a country that has canned sunshine. Which is the main reason why countries develop them. It appears that Iran is getting the upper hand in the missile exchange wars as seen in the video posted above--which was an attack on their main reactor in Dimona. You'll note more than 20 inbound hits with little to no resistance. FYI--an Orishnik strike on Dimona with just one missile would turn that entire base to complete dust--200 feet or more down.
Look for the USA to get dragged into this mess in the coming week.
