The self-inflicted economic wound is nothing more than Trumpnomics. If the numbers look bad he will just say they are fake or solved by GDP growth or tariff revenue.
Iran already knows that Israel can decapitate them at will, but not occupy them. Nothing has changed with these strikes.
Bombing nuclear facilities and killing scientists kicks the can down the road and that has worked for decades. But the US/Israel coalition is also trying to negotiate or orchestrate regime change, which could provide a more lasting impact.

- InitialLastName 1y agoThe population of Israel is 1/9 the population of Iran. The population of the US in 2003 was 10x the population of Iraq. Huge difference in what it takes to actually attempt to occupy a foreign country with a hostile populace.

- cosmicgadget 1y agoI don't think anyone has said so beyond, of course, "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" Considering how far Israel has gone in Gaza, I wouldn't rule out them pursuing maximized goals in Iran.
