This means that the Islamic Republic is now locked in a war to death. There won't be any ceasefires from here on. Wonder how Iran will respond. I hope they at least damage israel significantly regardless of the final outcome.

I've read that the US has no other option than bombing as they cannot win a land war there in any way. Iran is all mountains. The second you get troops in is the second they will be encircled. They will not be able to get out. Tank warfare is useless there.

Strike the military assets in the region and the US has no options anymore.

They also have their favourite option which they have historically resorted to countless times in the past which is the indisciminate brutalisation of civilians and destruction of civilian infrastructure because who is gonna stop them and how.
