The disruption in gas supply will be very short. Weeks, at most. The gulf states will be very happy to see the Islamic Republic gone, they are living in its shadow for a long time now. Now, Ukraine and Israel need very different kinds of support, and things like US withholding intelligence from Ukraine have nothing to do with Israel.

Iran has been bombing production facilities across a bunch of US allies. It's unclear how quickly those will be rebuilt. Also, the US is probably bombing Iranian production, which means countries like China will be looking for additional sources.

I wonder why Israel should get any support, do you support killing children and bombing schools?

Ukraine, I understand, because it was attacked, but Israel, who was oppressing people for so many years with prisons full with Palestinian kids and teenagers long before Oct 7th, I really don't understand.

Except, for Epstein reasons (blackmail), other than that, there is no reason US should support Israel, in any way

Remember when W declared mission accomplished? That war was so short too.

> The gulf states will be very happy to see the Islamic Republic gone

Would they be happy to see a devastating civil war that gives rise to a successor of ISIS or Taleban? Will they happily accept tens of millions of refugees?

Absolutely nothing good will come from this dumbfuck war. We all will pay the price of it one way or another.
