Israel’s failure to retaliate while the IRGC persistently continued to kill its soldiers and officers in Syria and Lebanon ultimately invited a large-scale invasion of Iran.
If Iran fails to retaliate even when Saudi Arabia and U.S. forces bomb the IRGC in Iraq, the same fate likely awaits it. Think about it: if U.S. forces were bombed in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, or Israel, but the U.S. chose not to retaliate on the grounds that its homeland had not been attacked, what would happen? Naturally, America’s prestige would plummet, and it would become a sitting duck for attacks. Iran’s national security is now on the brink of collapse. If Iran resolves to remain completely passive, as the Araguchi faction is urging, the damage it will suffer will be irreversible. This will inevitably lead to a future in which the Saudi Air Force carries out brutal, indiscriminate bombing raids on Tehran.
