Excellent analysis.

I would love to see Israel hit Iran in the proverbial "pocketbook"--it should target Iran's oil production facilities.

That would, however, hit global oil prices in the pocket too. A very expensive way to restore deterrence…

True, but I wonder whether that is the only "language" that the Iranians would ever understand.

Andrew thank you for always great analysis. Question: how does the rank and file military view the Iranian position? Could they flip their allegiance in your view this collapsing the regime?

^^^^Excellent question, and one I have also asked myself.

No way they're "flipping allegiance" to a Jewish state.

Great analysis Andrew.

On the options the Islamic Regime in Tehran there is chatter on Telegram that the 4.2 earthquake reported in Iran was actually a nuclear test.

I doubt this as I would imagine that Iran would be shouting such news from the rooftops.

Wondering what your thoughts are on this?
