— 🇮🇱/🇮🇷 NEW: The Israeli Air Force has prepared several strike options inside Iran, in case of a direct attack on its territory – Channel 12

@Middle_East_Spectator

— The escalation ladder, hypothetically, could be as follows:

🇮🇷 Step 1: Iran strikes military targets in the Golan Heights

🇮🇱 Step 2: Israel carries out limited strikes against low-value military targets inside Iran (warehouses etc.)

🇮🇷 Step 3: Iran strikes low-value military targets inside Israel proper, avoiding major strategic targets like ports & air fields

🇮🇱 Step 4: Israel strikes high value targets inside Iran, such as missile bases & oil refineries

🇮🇷 Step 5: Iran strikes high-value military targets across the entirety of Israel, including air fields & ports

🇮🇱 Step 6: Israel strikes Iran's nuclear program & enrichment facilities (at this point, the use of nuclear weapons cannot be ruled out), resulting in a large-scale regional war lasting for years.

During any step in the escalation process, either of the two could decide to show restraint, stopping the escalation ladder.

Keep in mind, this is only hypothetical, for this to happen, Iran has to first strike Israel.

— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸 NEW: An Israeli airstrike has killed 3 sons and 3 grandsons of Hamas' leader, Ismael Haniyeh, in the Gaza Strip

Haniyeh: 'I thank God for this honor that he bestowed upon us with the martyrdom of my three sons and grandchildren. The enemy is delusional if he thinks that by killing my sons we will change our positions.

The blood of my sons is not more precious than the blood of our dear martyred people in Gaza, for they are all my sons.'

'Iran is threatening to launch a significant attack on Israel, but as I told Prime Minister Netanyahu, our commitment to Israel's security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is iron clad – let me say it again – iron clad, we will do all we can to protect Israel's security'

The report about Iranian civil aviation being grounded is FALSE. Reuters quoted a non-existent Mehr News post.

It won't be tonight.

— If I had a dollar for every time fake 'Iran-affiliated' channels hyped the retaliation, I could quit my job.
