Subject: Re: WHY does Israel have to wait for
That attack you are referring to would last about one day and then Iran has no air force or navy. And deterrence could be achieved well short of that. After destroying half their navy and air force, we could take a pause and ask if they want to keep the remaining half.

Exactly. Which is why Iran hasn't attacked the US. Why they use proxies. The US can't respond as if they had been attacked directly by Iran, because we haven't been.
