Iran updates: Bombing rages as US Senate fails to curb Trump war powers
US and Israel continue to pound Iran and Lebanon as Tehran's counterstrikes disrupt oil flows in the Middle East.www.aljazeera.com

Way too optimistic. And we are already in ww3, we are in the early years.My own analysis is that this war will likely to end with a stalemate with both sides declaring victory. That would mean that US/Israel will fail to achieve their objective of instigating regime change in Iran or turning it into a Syria.
After the war, I predict that there will be regime changes in many countries in the Middle East, with US/Israeli puppets being overthrown and replaced with good Muslim governments. An alliance of Muslim countries will be formed. I hope that at least 4 Muslim countries will have nuclear weapons, including Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey. The fourth one could be an Arab country that is not a US/Israeli puppet. Four Muslim nuclear powers to match four Judeo-Christian nuclear powers--US, UK, France, Israel.
Then in a few years a united US/Israel/NATO will launch another mega attack. This will be WW3 and the last war between Muslims and the Judeo-Christians. Both sides will suffer massive damage, but no one will be able to claim victory. A peace treaty will be signed to end the war.
Up to this stage, Israel will still exist and will be ruled by their Moshiach. This Israel will be attacked by the rest of the world and Israel will cease to exist. The West will be gone. The main powers in the world of the future will be the Islamic civilization and China.
This US/Israeli war on Iran is critical to set up events for the future. Iran is fighting a battle on behalf of all 2 billion Muslims on the planet and all Muslims should support it.
PS: It's just my opinion and I could be wrong.
Israel or USA does it matter? close to 100k Palestinians dead, bombs drop by IDF and provided by USA. And you can bet that thousands of Americans are serving in the IDF as we speak. As a Super power USA has a responsibility but right now they have shown to the world that Israeli's are dog walking the Americans.I believe it was confirmed Israel did that strike
But even you can tell by look on his face, he is certainly not enthusiastic about wars in middle east and per reports was the one trying to persuade Trump admin against a war with Iran
You guys keep saying that having that nuclear umbrella will save Pakistan if Pakistan turns comes in. I think y'all are over confident. It is the ability to impart collateral and direct damage ( that requires a lot of resolve and capability) that is the deterrent.Dont think they'll ever use B2s against a nuclear country to be honest.
True, but Iran needs to think about a cease-fire because the quantity of Iranian missiles over Israel is getting lower, Iran can't Hit Americans that much, few soldiers dead they don't care much, unless the numbers are in 100's which is not gonna happen. Iranian navy which seems somewhat capable fell pretty quickly, I think Iran needs to decide and quickly before the country is completely destroyed or Balkanized.The problem is Israel is running this and wants full regime change. They aren’t going to accept anything else. Hence it’s an existential battle for Iran.
It's now or never. If Iran stops now, Israel and USA will take advantage to regroup and become stronger.True, but Iran needs to think about a cease-fire because the quantity of Iranian missiles over Israel is getting lower, Iran can't Hit Americans that much, few soldiers dead they don't care much, unless the numbers are in 100's which is not gonna happen.

Are you in Tehran? is your family in Tehran? they are gonna kill civilians by thousands of this war prolonged, USA/Israel will drop bombs in neighborhoods, so rather than cheering for Iranians to keep fighting a war they may well not win, its time to seek peace. There is nothing wrong with it, Live to fight another day...It's now or never. If Iran stops now, Israel and USA will take advantage to regroup and become stronger.
Iran's war, is a mixture of a war of survival and religion. It needs to keep pressing on unless there is guarantee it won't be attacked again.
