    Compromise/surrender are NOT in the Islamic (or Jewish)
    tradition. You DESTROY YOUR ENEMIES even IF its suicidal.

    This is a critical cultural gap between the West and
    the middle-east.

    SO ... Trump can bomb a few sites - but it won't
    end the war. It's a "holy war" at this point.
    As for nukes - Iran probably HAS some by now ...
    but can't reliably DELIVER. The Israeli defense
    is VERY good.

    Meanwhile, Iranian missiles - small and large -
    continue to raid down on Israel. Apparently a
    large automotive factory near Tel Aviv was
    vaporized. The defense maze IS very good, but
    can never get them ALL. The trick here is that
    Iranian nukes will be "precious" - so they
    can't risk them being shot down ... delivery
    has to be almost SURE to be worth it.

    ENOUGH Iranian missiles WILL eventually
    degrade/deplete IronDome. Israel has
    also deployed it's new laser-based
    system - which just needs electricity
    to work. However there are reports of
    on-ground attacks in Israel ... some
    MIGHT attack/jam the defense system.

    In short, it's all still "fluid".

    NOT sure if Iran has hired China to build
    missiles. Best if they have NO Chinese markings.
    China buys a LOT of oil from Iran - so this is
    an important issue for them. China MIGHT be
    inclined to manufacture stuff for Iran -
    enough to put Israel in a bad spot. The
    Israeli system is good, but CAN be overwhelmed
    by sheer volume.
