For Israel. Missing off the world for striking the oil fields and running oil up to 150+/barrel, stock markets plummeting, inflation running sky high. Would the US pull support if they do?
Iran: Getting bombed to smithereens. Millions of lives lost.
Would the other arab countries back Israel or Iran?
Glass desert and 800 years of darkness.
Obviously, Iran cannot go to war with Israel because Israel has a nuclear deterrent. But beyond a nuke, Israel could potentially (depending on whether the Saudis would allow use of their airspace) cripple Iran's oil industry with just a couple of sorties. Iran's oil terminals are almost all located on the Persian Gulf and very exposed to air attack. Iran's economy would collapse in a few weeks if it lost its ability to export oil. And as much as everyone in Iran hates Israel, the memories of the Iran/Iraq war have not faded. The average guy on the street in Iran can point to a family member who was either killed or wounded in the Iran/Iraq war. So, all we would every see is some tit for tat stuff like we are now seeing. If Iran really wanted to go after Israel, it would be through its proxy Hezbollah. But Hezbollah is also war adverse as its relationship with the rest of Lebanon has soured significantly over the years. The Lebanese government has for years looked the other way as Mossad tracks down and assassinates Hezbollah leaders in Lebanon.
Moment Iran postures to go all out against Israel, Israel will do one preemptive nuke strike to warn them. Then if continued, would do like 50 nuke strikes across Iran.
For Israel, it’s life or death and it makes sense. Tbh it’s kind of like NK for China, a honeypot trap for the other side.
How supportive would the world be if gas and you cost of living increases 50-75%? How supportive would you be? Don't downplay it. Could very well happen.

Sorry, you think a nuclear strike would happen and then the rest of the world would just sit back and watch? Nah, if any nuclear weapon lands anywhere in the world, we're all toast.

Israel needs to be put in their place. Their recklessness and our complicity must end. Bibi feels free to take huge amounts of US funding and weapons, courtesy of American households, while bucking any American policy input that he disagrees with. The fanatical Likuds want a regional war? Have fun with that. America shouldnt chip in a cent for it, and we damn sure shouldnt send any soldiers to risk their lives for it.
They wipe each other out and we get world peace
Eating radioactive hamburgers and juju bars for the foreseeable

Stick to topics you know. Iranians are Persians. Iranians are not Arabs.
Trust me. I know it's going to cost us more than a few dead bodies if either side has its way. Enjoy paying $7/gallon at your local gas station. Everything else will go up as well.
I think counting losses on both sides, the world's swarthiness quotient could decrease by as much as 10%.

Except China and Russia both Nuclear powers have already said they would help Iran.
Anyways the USA needs to stay out of it whatever happens as Israel does not have any resources the USA needs, or even if they do USA ,, the USA could get it elsewhere. The problems those countries have with each other they will always have and nothing will change that no point in intervening in some conflict that will never end, lets take care of our own Problems, Homelessness, Crime, Drugs and the countless Deaths that come with Drugs, Corruption etc.. Once we get rid of ALL the problems in the USA, then work on other Countries problems andv way to find peaceful solutions for them.
Land battles in Iraq, Jordan and Syria ?
Israel is within short distance of the Suez Canal, which is the world's major shipping route. What Israel has for the US is that it allows US forces to be stationed there in the event of an incident where the canal is closed.
