Israel currently appears to be in a position of weakness, and they may seek to correct this image with a harsh and uncompromising response.
Considering Israel’s policy of responding to attacks with disproportionate force, the recent ballistic missile strikes launched by Iran toward Israel have, so far, remained unanswered. This raises the possibility of a severe retaliation, potentially including a large-scale and prolonged air campaign—or, in a worst-case scenario, even a nuclear response. I sincerely hope this assessment proves to be wrong.
Israel, without US, have actually very limited options against Iran.In the 12 day june war, Israel was able to inflict damage to Iranian early warning and SAM networks yes using highly unique warfare methods that IRGC was not really expecting - the pager style warfare, partially suppressing Iranian counter fires and that's it.
On the other hand, US in the present conflict has systematically paralyzed the iranian state.
Its ballistic missile production industry is gone, steel industry gone, heavy damage to Petrochemical infrastructure, nuclear facilities hit badly, established ruling elite gone, Iran isolated in the region like never before, its proxies already cut in size, and its top academic infrastructure hit badly.
Iran as a civilization still stands because its one and only economic backbone - the oil industry is still spared.
Once Civilian and Energy Infrastructure is gone, it will be the systematic decapitation of Iranian civilization back to stone age and America would not allow it to recover as long as it's a Superpower.
Iranian leadership chose a wrong enemy.
