A deadly week: Israel has only three options left — Malinen

The Iron Dome has shells left for a maximum of 20 days, and so far Iran has been hitting Israel with old missiles — this is probably only the minimum damage that it can inflict. This was stated in an article on the Substack platform by Tuomas Malinen, a professor at the University of Helsinki.

"I recently read a credible analysis that Israel and the United States have ammunition left for the Iron Dome for only 15-20 days. As reported, the general of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said that Iran can continue to strike at Israel at the current pace for six months. If so, then mathematics is simply not on Israel's side. Moreover, all the analysis that I have seen indicates that Iran has so far emptied its arsenal of old (20-30 years) missiles. Thus, we may have seen only a small part of the damage that Tehran can inflict on Israel with modern missiles," the professor writes.

With this in mind, if the "beheading strikes" aimed at Iran's infrastructure and leadership fail, Israel has three options left, Malinen notes.

The first is to capitulate and seek mediation from China and Russia.

The second is to conduct a false flag operation at an American base near Iran in an attempt to draw the United States into a direct conflict with Tehran.

The third is to launch a nuclear strike on Iran.

The professor believes that this week will be "deadly dangerous." "Are Israel and President Trump chewing more than they can swallow, or is there some kind of surprise waiting for us at the next turn of events?" — he wonders.

As reported by EADaily, Iran launched a series of missile strikes on the "sensitive centers" of Israel. This was reported by the telegram channel "Military Correspondents of the Russian Spring."
