Is the U.S. ready? \n\nWhat is the state of readiness of the IDF for such a war? \n\nIs Israeli society ready for such a war?\n\nCould such a war be avoided? What would de-escalation look like? \n\n\n\n\n\nMost Israelis we have spoken to over the past few days have struck a balance between (tensely) trying to anticipate Iran\u2019s next move and expressing confidence in Israel\u2019s capacity for this new phase.
