The dominos are poised to fall. Iran has said that if Israel attacks targets in Syria, it will join with Hezbollah (and presumably Syria) and attack targets in Israel. Israel has given Syria 72 hours to disarm Hezbollah and to make them return the two Israeli hostages.

I don’t see Syria giving in to Israel’s demands. I don’t see Israel
nor Iran backing down from their threats. In sum, the current
Israel-Hezbollah war will enlarge itself into include Israel,
Hezbollah, Syria, and Iran.

I wonder if Iran attacks Israel, if the United State starts to
attack Iran. That might bring the Russians to the aid of Iran, but I
doubt it. Iran is already fighting the United States and Israel via
proxy in Iraq (USA) and Hezbollah/Ha-Mas (Israel).
