I think they might be dumb enough to do it. Strategically speaking, this is the dumbest fucking idea on the planet. Tehran is where all of the Iranian libshits live, the extremists live in the mountains. Vaporizing the libshits will have NO EFFECT on combat operations, but it will unite the Muslim world.
> Bahrain destabilized, both the UAE and Saudi Arabia now find themselves within striking distance
@lain probably ought to catch a flight... Come visit us in France (that offer is serious)
> Yesterday’s coalition bombing campaign, intended as a show of force, appears to have had little effect.
> Instead of deterring Iranian advances, the conflict has intensified.
Vaporizing libshits in Tehran, we talked about this.
> China has deployed an intelligence vessel off the coast of Oman
LOL, Chinaman troll hard.

I'm just saying to @lain it's better safe than sorry. I don't see you packing your bags to fly to Tel Aviv, being in the gulf is not something I'd recommend right now.
My take is this war that everyone will lose. Iran loses because it's converted into Afghanistan, US and Israel lose because they end up fighting "Afghanistan".
You're welcome to your predictions, that's mine.

If we assume that Israel's goal is primacy in the region, then they don't need a protracted conflict in Iran.
They can let the US get bogged down in whatever happens, and chaos only benefits in that scenario. Another Afghanistan for the US means the US is less powerful in the region.
If everyone loses, Israel wins.

Elites like territory, in Israel as in the rest of the world.

I have blackberries. They really are wanna be "weeds". The key is to set a boundary - "thus far and no farther" and ruthlessly cut any sprouts that spring up from root propagation beyond the boundary.
Also beware of "berry bugs", aka "noseeums" that eat animal skin, but unlike the more symbiotic house mites that wait for you to shed said skin, they spit corrosive chemicals on your skin to dissolve it on demand. This causes nasty allergic reactions in addition to sores from the "bites". The key is to not scratch.
Those are just for making my yard a "fun place". Having stuff just growing random places and it's delicious, and you can just walk around munching... it's just irreplaceable.
However, I do have a couple of elderberries as an experiment to see if that works out. Supposedly dried elderberries are 30$ a pound.

Currently they're just planted in landscaping cloth, gonna throw some woodchips over them to look nice and then when they send out shoots, I'll pass through cutting holes in the cloth and plant the shoots. At least for the first couple of years until they're established.
