BILD has new infos from Amos Yadlin?

Possible war scenario for the Middle East: Trump's Iran attack could be bigger than expected

archive.ph/mXZev#selection-2177.0-2185.52

According to US media, US President Donald Trump (78) has released his military's attack plans against the mullah regime in Iran and its military. All that's missing is the order to attack, according to the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.
The question, however, is how deeply the US will engage alongside Israel in the fight against Iran.

Amos Yadlin (73), a former general in the Israeli Air Force and former head of military intelligence, outlines two possible options in BILD.

Scenario 1: Trump attacks Fordow nuclear facility in isolation

▶︎ The first is an isolated, targeted attack on the underground Fordow nuclear facility. According to Yadlin, this would massively set back the Iranian nuclear program and send a clear signal to the regime in Tehran.
.....
However, Iran would likely retaliate against US bases in the Gulf, which is why Yadlin considers a second option more likely.

Scenario 2: Comprehensive US military strike

▶︎ According to Yadlin, who flew the attack on the Iraqi nuclear reactor in Osirak as a fighter pilot in 1981, this second option would involve a more comprehensive military strike. This could prevent a possible Iranian retaliation for the attack on Fordow in advance.
According to Yadlin, this would also require targeting Iranian missile sites that could threaten US targets in the Persian Gulf, as well as forces preparing to blockade the Strait of Hormuz.

"A broader US attack as a means of anticipating Iranian retaliation would also target missiles threatening US interests in the Gulf, as well as Iranian forces potentially seeking to block the Strait of Hormuz," he explains.
It is unclear whether Donald Trump will give the green light for the operation. The reason: Unlike Israel, which is located about 1,000 kilometers from Iran, Iran could retaliate massively against US bases in the region, some of which are only 100 kilometers from Iranian territory.

may only reach up to "ethnic cleansing", or "pogrom"?

Yes....the human history is full of mass murder....ethnic cleansing...pogroms....but a genocide stands out for very good reasons!

I didn't know that you need to lose millions, before you have a solid moral claim.

Not only that....it should be industrial...like ovens....

What nowadays gets called as "genocide" is totally mocking the real one!

How many percent do you need for genocide? Let me know, so I can keep track.

I dunno....a population loss of about 6 million? Not 6%....would be a start....

There is no excuse for genocide ever.

There is no use for calling something "genocide" also....it has become burned out...like calling someone a Nazi or similiar.

It's worthless now! Overuse does that....

The Pahlavi dynasty are a bunch of lowborn Mazandarani usurpers (not even Persians).

Interesting!

But frankly that is for the Iranians to decide....and absolutely not my problem. The West has only one problem: no nukes for the Mullahs!

....gets popcorn....

Washington/Tehran - US President Donald Trump (79) could soon join Israel's military operation against Iran's nuclear program. The Wall Street Journal reports that Trump has already approved the attack plans. If Tehran does not completely abandon its nuclear program, he will strike.

Thousands of US soldiers stationed in the Middle East are preparing for retaliatory strikes from Iran. The New York Times reports this, citing military officials and intelligence reports: "Iran has prepared missiles and other military equipment for attacks on US bases in the Middle East."

It's a delusion, pipe dream and no solution to what you seek.

What I seek?

I don't want a terrorist-attack with a nuke anywhere in Berlin, Paris or New York....is that so unfathomable???

If Iran kept to themselves, only torturing and opressing their own population, they would have a much better chance to get away with it. But they don't, and made lotsa powerful enemies with that. Some lessons need to be learnt the hard way....it isn't as if they have never been warned!

I personally don't want the Mullahs to throw around nine nukes, I'm grateful for Israel to take care of that problem! Thank you!

Waiting till the inteligence says Iran is making a bomb.

...now I guess Tel Aviv and Washington have already the necessary details, why else would they attack NOW?

....According to the IAEA, the only international body authorized to inspect facilities on site, Tehran is now capable of producing 34 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% per month. In its March 2025 report, the agency estimated, based on data provided by the Islamic Republic, that the country then had 274.8 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60%....

lemonde.fr/en/les-decodeurs/article/2025/06/19/how-close-is-iran-to-nuclear-weapons_6742494_8.html

...While uranium enriched to 60% is not usable, Iran's nuclear program is approaching the 90% threshold required to produce nuclear weapons. With its current stockpile, Iran could be capable of producing "more than nine" bombs, the European troika (France, Germany and the United Kingdom) told the IAEA Board of Governors on Thursday, June 12. According to European diplomats, there is no doubt that "Iran has continued its nuclear escalation unabatedly, even further beyond any credible civilian justification."....

The idea that the son of the kleptocratic torturer could lead a new Iran after aligning himself with a genocidal regime attacking the country

That the opposition returns from the enemies of the system isn't that crazy but rather normal in the past, wouldn't you say?

Ending the problem will require at least 50,000 Americans troops

Maybe thats not necessary! It's doubtful that Mullah regime would get enough supporters on the streets to fight for them....

....When Mehnaz*, a 24-year-old student activist in east Tehran, heard the news, she did not think of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. Instead, she thought of her fellow students who were detained, shot and executed by Iranian security forces during the "woman, life, liberty" protests in 2022.

"After Mahsa [Amini]'s death, we tried to stand up. Teenagers were shot point blank, our compatriots were hanged. We could never get rid of the Islamic Republic on our own. Now, someone from outside is helping us," Mehnaz told the Guardian via text on Wednesday after a sleepless night of Israeli bombing.

'You worry what's going to come next': Iranians brace themselves as war looms

The prospect of imminent US involvement in an Israeli bombing campaign, which is suggested to be in pursuit of regime change, has laid bare deep divides in Iran's population, even among the opposition. Many are deeply suspicious of the US's intentions in Iran, which has a bitter history of foreign adventurism gone awry. Others do not care who is the one to topple the government.

A large portion of Iran's population is bitterly opposed to the government, which has only grown more repressive as the country slips deeper into economic crisis. Just two weeks ago, much of Iran was paralysed by a nationwide strike in protest at the dismal economic situation.

To some of the opposition, anything that could topple the Iranian government is welcome, whether it comes from street protests or US bunker busters.

Mehnaz said: "Yes, we'll probably have massive destruction in Tehran and other cities, but this regime will fall - and then we can rebuild everything again."....

The problem is that the Pahlavi family were far from loved

I have no idea about that....but in countries which failed revolutions the former monarchs are at least a chance....on the way to something better. That's why Stalin killed the russian ones....

But anyhow, the Iranians should decide, nobody else!
