### - that's genuinely the closest we've ever come to it sport & it's not  
over until the fat lady sings, plus methinks we were lucky there it didn't  
kick-off, israel not taking them out (this time) as expected, preferring  
to instead goad iran into retaliating, iran preferring to hold back and  
play the long game rather than risking the chance of looming annihilation  
at both israel and america's hand, they actually backed down! (quite  
surprising really)

israel can't, of course, just settle for that nor leave things there,  
iran's not gonna go away and is only back to biding its time while doing  
repairs, a window that wont remain open for long if israel wants to go any  
farther before they make those repairs... cue then more goading!

failing iran being drawn-into that, there's nada now stopping iran from  
developing a nuclear warhead (if they haven't already) and israel knows  
that, so something decisive will still have to be done before it ever gets  
to that point...

https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/iran-developing-nuclear-bomb-stockpile-to-destroy-israel-netanyahu-6894868

thus excuses will have to be made/generated to take iran down one way or  
the other, iran apparently not being as stupid as it looks agreeing now  
that the scores are even again, although in reality they've been badly  
damaged by this last attack in the eyes of the rest of the world and their  
own people, their last hope now being to nuke israel at some later point  
versus israel's hardly gonna wait until that happens, this creating yet  
another window that wont remain open forever, iran in the corner playing  
rope-a-dope wont work either...

in the meantime, however, the world has dodged yet another serious  
flashpoint/bullet, for sure no one wants it, but also for sure is the fact  
that both sides are never gonna stop until something resolves one way or  
the other, plus also for sure is that iran wont just die without a fight  
either...

so it's still all on the cards sport, we just don't know now how or when  
is all...

i.e., presumably, israel will now go heavy on iran's satellites and proxy  
leaders hoping iran will respond with something that justifies israel  
hitting them again, that the goading will thus continue even harder than  
before, a win-win situation for israel either way as iran appears  
increasingly weak for not retaliating ever-harder as they threatened...

iran is surely aware of all this, however, so why they didn't go all-in  
this last time is surprising, the west called their bluff and they backed  
down on what might have been their last chance to really damage israel:  
they bottled-out of it! (very surprising!)

https://www.mei.edu/blog/weekly-briefing-following-israeli-counterstrike-iran-region-appears-pull-back-brink

the west will, however, have to make sure they're no longer a threat so it  
ain't gonna stop pounding on iran now until they either surrender  
completely or go down in some final blaze of glory, so it's all only  
delayed/not over yet old bean... their blaze of glory option is rapidly  
fading, however, in which case it looks like the remaining muslim nations  
will all be slowly rounded-up and metaphorically kept on controlled  
reservations like the native americans were...

this was their last chance/hope and they blew it, they're basically  
screwed...

this making russia & china up next then huh ;)
