The Israelis are apparently leaking to David Ignatius, who's known to be very like tied in with the deep state over at the Washington Post, that they are also concerned.
A few senior officials in Israel are starting to voice concern about the escalating open-ended attack on Iran and suggesting possible exit ramps that might halt the war before it further damages the region and the global economy.
Reportedly, after the 12-day war, it was really the Israelis who were the ones who said, "Let's call this quits for now."
And I think Saga, they would probably be happy adopting effectively like a mow the lawn strategy like what they've done in Gaza for years and years where you go in destabilize,
blow a bunch of up, create a bunch of chaos, and then once the price gets too much to bear for you, okay, then we'll stop for now and then we'll go back in at a future time.
>> What I see in terms of the Israeli strategy is more of an acknowledgment of the widening of the conflict.
It does seem to me that the Israelis in the US actually believed a lot of their own BS that they wouldn't strike elements of the Gulf.
They just thought that this is a nightmare scenario.
Same with the closure of the Straits of Hormuz.
But two, I think what they're also saying from the Israeli perspective is they're like, "Oh man, now we're tied at the hip here with the United States, with Trump."
They want to declare this some sort of regime change.
And what they like, as you said, is having the boogeyman exist.
But if they actually go forward, then what are they going to do?
They can't rile up their whole population every few years and say, "Oh,
well, we have to go bomb them because of their nuclear threat."
If they actually did replace the regime, I think more than anything, this is probably more about munitions math and it's about defense readiness and the reality of a long war and what it's all going to look like.
