Everyone knows that will an escalation but who benefits? Only Israel as they see the Iranians and the GCC attacking each other which leads to even more depletion of Iranian missiles, while Israel, taking advantage of the fog of war, consolidates its new gains in Gaza, Syria, and South Lebanon. The Arab countries, when the dust settles, will end up buying the American weapons and even getting American contractors in for 'rebuilding'.
If Iran is hoping for a regional destruction to cause a global economic to stop the war of aggression against it then it will be much longer for the Americans to feel that pain before rest of the world would feel that pain.
There is no Samson Option for Iran to get out of this war. The only options are great pain on Israel itself and major American casualties.
