The issue is whether the US is willing to change the fighting from a proxy conflict to a direct one. - albaby

=================

Proactive vs re-active? Let the opponent control the scale and the pace and we react as minimally as possible. Been there, done that. Iran doesn't care about proxy casualties. Treat the proxies like hardware, as the delivery system for Iranian munitions.

Proportionality has been tried and has failed. Time for a new approach, time for real deterrence. Then it is up to Iran if we escalate from there. But let it be clear, an attack by proxies will be treated as an attack by Iran.
