> Iran will not stop harassing the region, and perhaps not even allow the strait to open, if Israel is still bombing them or fighting a proxy war in Lebanon. If Israel is still bombing them? Certainly. This will put incredible international pressure on Israel to stop. It's one thing when the US wrecks the world's economy, and it's hard to push back on. It's an entirely different thing when a country of 10 million people is wrecking the world's economy. International opinion has been turning against it for years, already. I do think it's very unlikely to continue the war if the bombing stopped, and only the proxy war continued. | ||

Israel is basically immune to pressure from countries other than the US, and the US won't pressure them because of domestic politics. | ||
