Framed as a strike on “evil,” Washington and Tel Aviv’s attacks leave Iran with few off-ramps. Tehran’s incentives now point toward escalation as a matter of survival.

There is always a plan. The pentagon has plans for every conceivable scenario sitting on a shelf.
This administration is pretty incompetent and making a mess of execution and messaging.
Regardless, these are some dark times and there is no way to justify the atrocities being committed by all those who are complicit.
Having a plan for every scenario is for risk management, not for running a country.
It’s “whatever happens we have to be ready”, it says nothing on whether the scenario makes sense or is desirable.
The US government decides to send a team to the Vatican and capture the Pope? I’m sure there is a plan for that. It doesn’t mean the idea isn’t completely idiotic.
