Wargame: U.S. Dragged Into Regional War After Israeli Strike On Iran | A Pentagon wargame simulating an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities ended with the U.S. involved in a regional war after an Iranian retaliatory missile killed 200 seamen aboard a Navy ship in the Persian Gulf. According to New York Times sources, CENTCOM Commander Gen. James Mattis, who is responsible for the region, found the results “particularly troubling.” The initial Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities delayed its program a year. After the U.S. entered the fight, subsequent bombings set back the program another two. U.S. intelligence agencies haven’t concluded that Iran has made a decision to produce a bomb, and, while Obama keeps all options on the table, he has said, “a peaceful resolution of this issue is still possible, and far better.”
