‘I think if the Iranians come into the fight, [USA] will come into the fight. And we desperately want to avoid this.' Mearsheimer ‘The Israelis have been trying to make that war happen for a long time. Remember April 1 they bombed the Iranian embassy in Damascus and then they killed the Palestinian leader in Tehran. They're trying to make a war happen and we're trying to make it not.'

The only way to shut down the Israel-Hezbollah war is to somehow shut down the war in Gaza, some sort of agreement, he said, which won't happen while Netanyahu is in office. So he won't reach a ceasefire in Gaza, he'll continue to murder Palestinians, tear the place apart, and therefore Hezbollah will stay in the fight.

Hezbollah, with 150k missiles, will just oversaturate the Iron Dome above their specific targets, M considered, if an all-out war happened.
