U.S. War Game Sees Perils of Israeli Strike Against Iran

[Amuroray]

WASHINGTON — A classified war simulation held this month to assess the repercussions of an Israeli attack on Iran forecasts that the strike would lead to a wider regional war, which could draw in the United States and leave hundreds of Americans dead, according to American officials.

a poll was conducted recently....results showed that majority of israelis are scared and would be averse to attacking Iran, unless (of course) they had some backing by their Godfather, the USA


israel is the one ringing the war bells, and then they act like Iran is the aggressor. this is very strange phenomenon

In a normal world,the usa would threaten Israel with abandonment if they attacked Iran as the usa would suffer when they didnt even conduct it.However since this world is full of corruption and manipulation, so the USA will follow Israel to ends of the earth as the USA is Israels lapdog.Even though the USA is a superpower lol.This world makes no sense

Americans have also been questioned if they supported an attack on Iran, a majority said Yes.
A majority also said they see Iran as their number 1 enemy, followed by North Korea, Afghan, Pakistan etc...

"should say hundreds of thousands"

the 200 calculated was from the assumption of an attack on a US Navy ship in the region.

This "war game" is just a message to Israel not to attack Iran, they have been numerous reports magically leaked to US newspapers saying why its bad to attack Iran. The fact is if Israelis wanted to launch an airstrike, they would have done it a long time ago. They certainly wouldn't state every other day that the attack is eminent. Just like when they bombed Iraq and Syria. In and out without nonsense. In fact if Israel was so worried about Iran they would't block efforts to intervene militarily to remove Assad. This whole fiasco is getting old fast.

Last year only 25% Americans supported an attack on Iran, and less the year before. Massive propaganda works

So if Iranians want to retaliate on US, they would attack one ship only? It doesnt make sense. Either Iranians would attack full-scale or they wont attack at all, whats the point of sinking only one ship.

In case of war, a LOT of ships will go down, a LOT of US bases would be under attack, a LOT of missiles would be put to use, some US planes would be shot down during sorties too. If US puts boots on the ground, even more of their soldiers would die. Hundreds of thousands of US soldiers dead would be more likely outcome of the war than "200".
