Previous conflicts between the involved parties were intense but also defined by constrain on both sides.

Israel did not mass bomb civilians, and Iranian agents did not commit sabotage against infrastructure on US soil.

I hope this pattern persists.

A hand full of determined Ukrainians managed to blow up North Stream, some people plunged part of Berlin into darkness for 2 weeks.

Power and data cables as well as pipelines are as vulnerable in the US, as they are here. Maybe even more so.

A regime that truly feared for its existence, might decide to escalate, since there is nothing to loose.

I think the latter, the US is explicitly attempting a regime change operation so Iran has no reason for restraint.

The US is aware of this, that's why they evacuated all their bases etc within range

Within an hour Israel blew up an elementary school, killing 80 civilians.

    A school located at 27.109828°N, 57.084744°E was hit and partially collapsed. That is the extent of the hard evidence.

      Oh my God, is this 2001 again?

      > All we know is that they did launch a missile that blew up a school. That's it. Just a little woopsies!

      Ignore what schools are for and who are in them and what communities exist around them. Ignore that a school is clearly not a fucking military target. Ignore the workers digging through rubble and the reported deaths.

      No, despite the past 25 years, the US and Israel's governments are not only trustworthy, but the only source of truth. There are no deaths in Ba Sing Se. There were nuclear missiles hidden in that school!

      And, of course, I'm sure we'll hear next that any deaths were terrorists. And if any photos of lifeless kids come up, clearly they're some kind of pinatas or AI! And if their names and life stories come out and there are funerals - duh, state actors!

      My country has completely lost its fucking mind. Which I guess makes sense enough after spending my entire adult life watching people basically shrug over little kids being gunned down at school.

      Which, dang, that reminds me how Sandy Hook was also a conspiracy and I've had to suffer listening to the same exact "state actor" thing with that.
