I don't think Israel needs direct US intervention at this point. They have this on lock.
If it comes to that, where Iran truly runs out of ballistic missiles, and is unable to produce them in large enough amounts, then their last and best option for defense is to goad the Israelis and Americans into invading them directly, head-on.
Attrite them on their own home front, similar to Palestine and Ukraine, and just slog it out using their terrain, tunnels and smaller scale military weapons like ATGMs, FPV drones, etc… to bog down the Israelis and Americans.
The west has air power, but as shown in Vietnam and Korea, underground structures and well-placed, well-constructed tunnels both large and small, and numerous in numbers, can protect you from even the most sophisticated Air Force, even with bunker busters involved.
Russia and China can deliver most of the supplies they need through from the north and east, and they can essentially turn this into America’s Ukraine. They may lose in the end, but will incredibly hurt the west in the process.
Israel and US are clearly angling for a popular uprising by the Iranian anti-regime liberals.
Not gonna rush into conclusions but last year Israel bombed the shvit out of a few buildings in Syria with the claim that it belongs to a certain Palestinian group and the asassination of high ranking membersHigh value target in a residential complex in Tehran has been struck.
I thought it was common knowledge. If you are a small state that is targeted by the imperium, the best thing to do is:Suprised anyone here is shocked or disappointed.
It was clear iran was at the mercy of Israel or America for a long time
Interesting analysis
This is true - but it requires willpower. Do they have it? Based on the degree of infiltration, no.If it comes to that, where Iran truly runs out of ballistic missiles, and is unable to produce them in large enough amounts, then their last and best option for defense is to goad the Israelis and Americans into invading them directly, head-on.

I agree that could be a way out for this regime. I'm convinced the moderates are US puppets though and this will just lead to a soft regime change through reform instead of overthrow.
