What will happen if Israel attacks Iran? Ted Snider on the possible consequences of Washington backing Tel Aviv's aggression.
"The third is that, though it is far from certain, as in Ukraine, the United States risks getting drawn into a conflict with Russia. Iran is now a full member of the Russia and China-led international multipolar organizations BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. At the upcoming BRICS summit later this month, Iran is expected to sign a comprehensive strategic partnership with Russia. On October 11, Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, and on September 30, the day before the Iranian strikes on Israel, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin was in Tehran. And The New York Times reports that “Iran has requested advanced air-defense systems from Russia as it prepares for a possible war with Israel” and that “Russia has started delivering advanced radars and air-defense equipment.”
Putin is lining up all his ducks. Very strategic. "But even if Israel avoids hitting nuclear enrichment and oil production sites, military strikes, sabotage or assassinations could still bring the risk of a wider war." Its already coming to war. Im pretty sure every knows those are empty promises just to buy time.

I'm not feeling very hopeful about the situation. In the past I've always been skeptical that we'd go to war with Iran, but now it seems fairly likely.

Yes. Putin lined everything up well. Just imagine if he is able to recruit the chinese...unlimited amount of manpower.

I don't even think he really has to recruit them. I think the Chinese are as much on his side as America is on Israel's and Ukraine's.
