It would undoubtedly be an intense military campaign, but I seriously doubt it would be a short one, given the scale and severity of Iran’s potential retaliation. More importantly, there is little reason to believe that even a devastating military campaign would force Tehran to capitulate or return to the negotiating table on Washington’s terms. #Iran #iranwar

Netanyahu’s Political Dead End Could Be the preview for the Next War with Iran One critical point that deserves far more attention is Netanyahu’s political predicament. He has no viable governing coalition, yet there is little reason to believe he has any intention of voluntarily giving up the prime minister’s office. This creates a potentially dangerous situation. With no clear political path to remaining in power, Netanyahu may see another confrontation with Iran as an opportunity to fundamentally change the political equation. A national security emergency could put enormous pressure on his political rivals to join a national unity government under his leadership. This is a very plausible scenario and one that should not be underestimated. The concern is not simply that Netanyahu might exploit another war for political future. It is that his inability to form a government, combined with his determination to remain prime minister, could create a powerful incentive to initiate or escalate a confrontation with Iran.. Any assessment of the likelihood of another war with Iran must take into account not only the military and strategic calculations, but also Netanyahu’s political survival. #IranWar‌ #iran
