If Iran Attacks Israel, Nothing Will Be Off Limits

Israel has warned that if Iran expands the current conflict to include the Jewish state, “all bets are off.” In this urgent situational briefing, military analyst Yaakov Lappin explains why the latest U.S.-Iran escalation is really a battle over the Strait of Hormuz, why Israel is staying out for now, what could trigger a devastating Israeli response, and the three scenarios that could shape the next phase of the conflict. He also examines Israel's new security doctrine, the future of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, and why the IDF believes it must dramatically increase troop numbers.
