The Israel Defense Force earlier issued an evacuation order in both Arabic and Farsi for District 18 of the Iranian capital of Tehran, near Mehrabad International Airport, stating that the Israeli Air Force is preparing to launch strikes against military infrastructure in the area and that all civilians should immediately depart for their own health and safety.

A war with Iran will be worse than Vietnam for the USA. They have insane geography. If they are ever sent back to the ground-level trenches like Afghans, the West can never win an enduring war. These Western countries are very intimidated by a true ground-level invasion. If Iran is on their home turf, they will probably endure the most protracted war of modern history, and the consequence of that, if it never becomes a world war, will shift the domestic realities of the US.
Remember, democracies are brittle in long-term commitments if the costs are seen as burdensome by the citizens. The threshold of going to a full-blown war will get any president in the US booted. We're not in the Bush era, and even that was highly controversial. US citizens will never sign off on going to war, and Israel can never engage in real war-fare with Iran.
It seems that Iran needs to play their cards better and deal more low-intensity damage to Israel because Netanyahu wants to keep doing this "death by a thousand cuts" tactic and cry wolf about war, while in reality, Israel can never go to a real war. All it can do is stand behind its father, ranomly sucker punch and then run behind the US its daddy again like the true weak spirited coardly state it is. It wants the US to fight for it, but I don't see a scenario where Trump can invade Iran and win, and also maintain support domestically. You guys are thinking about it one-dimensionally. Sura, the United States is a superior power. Nevertheless, Iran will endure a pyrrhic victory if it has to on the domestic ground. The USA is extremely sensitive to lasting fights because of the democratic realities. According to polls, a war with Iran is very unpopular among Democrats and Republicans.
The only way America would go to a true war with Iran is if a twin tower-type attack happened on American soil. And to be honest, it would not be an impossibility that Israel would stage something like that. After such an occurrence, the US would blame Iran and do a full invasion. They would lose in the end, of course, but Iran would have been reduced to rubble, and they would have to rebuild like Afghanistan (and physically like Iraq and Syria). I think the regime will be much more enduring, like the Taliban, because they have a religious motivation to them, and they believe in that legitimacy through ethnic and historic nationalistic zeal. These are not just some secular dictators but Shia Iranian nationalists (remember, Iran has a good chunk that are hardcore Shia), and the rest will join them as they will be attacked indiscriminately too. This "changing the regime" through war rhetoric is a pipe dream.
