Gosh, I wonder which unnamed 'foreign intel agency' that was... Guess we'll never know...

Iraq has shot down Iranian missiles, as has Jordan. They’re not at war with Iran.

It’s not at all indicative of how well/badly a conflict is going. Just a bog standard part of domestic opsec.

Lol, shooting down missiles is never, in any treaty or international standard, considered an act of war.
Ballistic missiles are the only threat from Iran that can reach the Mediterranean. If they were in the Straight if Hormuz that’s be a different story, but they’re not.

They’re not at all in harms way, Iranian ballistic missiles can’t target moving warships. They’re as safe in the Mediterranean as they are sitting in harbor in San Diego.

Literally every single country in an active state of war maintains that exact same policy. Ukraine has maintained that policy ever since the start of the invasion.

Israel has been invaded nearly a dozen times by different countries and terror groups over its short history. It’s in a competition with Afghanistan as the most invaded nation in the world in the last century.

It’s not a deterrent against all attacks. It’s a deterrent against complete annihilation. If you attempt to use it as a deterrence against all attacks then it loses its power because everyone learns you won’t use them (see: Russia’s threats against Ukraine). This is basic nuclear deterrence 101.

The idea that Israel might have nukes lends itself to the idea that Israel might use nukes as a last resort if about to fall due to an invasion, even if they never plan to do so. Hence strategic ambiguity.

Israel maintains strategic ambiguity about their stocks of nuclear weapons or lack thereof as a deterrent against military conquest by and subjection under their neighboring countries which have all at some point in their histories threatened to annihilate them.

The first day I take geopolitical advice from an antisemitic anarchist anti-natalist supporter of terror organizations (god what a terrible combination of political philosophies) will be a cold day in hell. Blocked.

What’s best for Iranians is to stop putting all their oil money into terror networks and weapons to use against Israel and instead actually invest it into their society. They could be a highly developed economic powerhouse if they actually cared about anything other than destroying Israel.

Einstein supported peaceful Zionism up until the point that it was clear that Arab leaders wouldn’t allow a shared Jewish homeland in the region, then gave up peaceful Zionism for practical Zionism and was a continued supporter of the state of Israel, founding a university among other efforts.

Ah yes, because Iran- one of the world’s largest and most enthusiastic exporters of crude oil- cares deeply about the environment and that’s why they have a nuclear program. Lol.

Your deliberately out of context quote was specifically about Irgun, not Israel, and does not reflect the lifetime views of Einstein. Your continued perversion of a dead man’s actual views is gross and wrong.

Einstein was a committed lifelong Zionist and his views on Israel were nuanced and deliberate. He was always an avid supporter of a Jewish homeland in the region.
He simply thought that a one state solution would be vastly preferable, but failing that there should still be a Jewish state.

The only thing Israel would accept is the complete dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program with international guarantees of adherence. And I doubt Iran would be willing to offer that.

The first time Ukraine threatens the direct destruction of Russia, pursues multiple offensive proxy wars against it, and starts a nuclear program in pursuit of that destruction is the first day that comparison holds any weight.
