John Mearsheimer: “You can bomb Iran, but you can’t change the regime. With the regime intact, it will pound Israel, target U.S. forces across the region, and potentially close the Strait of Hormuz; cutting off Gulf oil and devastating the world economy.”

🇮🇱 Netanyahu to Iran: If you attack us, we will attack you. There is no place in Iran that Israel long arms cannot reach, and this is true for the entire Middle East. Netanyahu failed to remember that Iran attacked Israel just few months ago with ballistic missiles and drones directly, causing damages to at least 3 Israel military bases but Israel chicken out and didn't respond back

Zhirinovsky (from the future) on the consequences of a nuclear strike on Iran: Israel could launch a nuclear strike on Iran, which would lead to a sharp escalation. Iran will retaliate. It will bomb Saudi Arabia and Qatar and close the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices will jump to 400 dollars per barrel. The economies of the EU and China will collapse. These are the consequences.

John Mearsheimer: “Trump will do what he did on June 22: strike once, declare victory, and stop. But Iran this time is a cocked pistol. Any attack brings full retaliation, hitting Israel, hitting U.S. bases in the region, and closing the Strait of Hormuz.”

🚨Could Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz if the US🇺🇸 and Israel attack? ‘What we worry about in the Middle East is the wider conflict or the reignition of the war between Israel and Iran, which would bring into question the role of the Strait of Hormuz, through which one third of all gas and one third of all oil used in the world goes through. So if there would be a major crisis or war between Israel and Iran, the Strait of Hormuz could be closed, and we would have an energy crisis of epic proportions. If push would come to shove, I’m sure they would do it. It would hurt them also. But if the very existence of Iranian leadership, or Iran as a state, would come into question, I’m sure they would do it. But I think that President Trump does not want to go there. So there is a backstop here, I think, in the US.’ -Tuomas Malinen, CEO of GnS Economics on Going Underground
