Amid debate over whether to pursue a war of attrition or a decisive campaign, Reservist Brig. Gen. Oren Solomon said the US must decide to go on the offensive, targeting power plants, oil facilities, and ports to make the price for Iran too high. Solomon's remarks add to the public discussion on the appropriate level of response.
Reservist Brig. Gen. Oren Solomon called on the US to strike Iranian infrastructure, as the debate over whether to pursue a war of attrition or a decisive campaign continues. Solomon, a former senior officer, argued that the US must decide on an offensive that targets power plants, oil facilities, and ports, making the cost for Iran unbearably high. The statement comes amid ongoing discussions in Washington and Jerusalem about the appropriate response to recent Iranian attacks. As The Zioneer has reported, senior Israeli officials have stated that Israel's position is war and that Iran must pay a heavy price. Retired US colonels have also urged targeting Iranian infrastructure. However, the Trump administration has not yet publicly signaled a decision on the scale of a potential escalation. Solomon's remarks represent a clear call for a more aggressive US posture.
