how will Iran launch these 2000 missiles ? Last time around US satellites and drones were monitoring Iran 24/7 and passing the coordinates of any launchers to Israeli aircraft in the air.
I would argue Iran needs to have ability to launch salvos for many weeks, even months and THAT is what will deter Israel and the West. One big bang wont do it.
I disagree. I think one big bang against Israel is necessary.
I will try to dig it up, there is an interview with Nima Alkhorshid and a retired U.S. army colonel who suggested Iran should do this.
Essentially Iran should launch a massive salvo of 1000+ missiles at the very get go and incapacitate Israel. Immediately after, send negotiators to the U.S. directly and de-escalate.
Tell them "We have concluded our attack, our enemy is dealt with, we would like to normalize relations with the U.S. and will take the necessary steps to scale back our forces posture, nuclear program"
Heck, at that point, Iran could even give up nuclear enrichment. Him and many in the U.S. military circles, believe Trump would be responsive to such a scenario, given deteriorating relationship with Netanyahu.
Iran needs to use it, or it will lose it. Prolonging the war only opens up the door for the U.S. to intervene massively.
The first shot needs to be hard and decisive; it must overwhelm Israeli defences and shower them with enough missiles, to actually devastate their infrastructure. It can be done. Iran easily has this capacity.
