Even if you leave out the moral argument completely, Israel’s operations in Iran, especially the incredible intelligence penetration, are only possible because of many sympathetic Iranian patriots who realize they need Israel’s help to take their country back. If the US or Israel or any of the other allies indiscriminately hit Iranian civilians or their water infrastructure, then why would they want to help us? Israel and America must not join the ranks of Saddam, Genghis Khan, and Khameini, the great butchers of Iranian history. The critical mass of helpers inside Iran must be thought of as an allied force in their own right and treated accordingly

You couldn’t be more correct. Seriously thank you for not going along with the “let’s throw in a billion separatist groups and also just destroy the country” narrative. Idk when we went from help is on the way to this but we really need everyone standing against it. You have our goodwill, please please don’t lose it

A lot of people simply don’t know how intelligence gathering works. Sure, Israeli SIGINT and electronic surveillance are extremely potent, but the main source of Israel’s power in Iran is simply having spies literally everywhere, the old fashioned way. The way it seems to work is use SIGINT to deny the enemy secure electronic communications, forcing them to use in person meetings, use spies to locate those meetings, and then saturate said meeting with a comical amount of high explosives. The IRGC tries to get around this with “mosaic defense” but that of course comes with serious limitations

@BannedBasker Mosaic defense results in things like retards with ballistic missiles in some isolated base blowing up the MOU by deciding targets at their own volition
