In the dark of the night, Israel has struck Iranian facilities linked to South Pars, the largest natural gas field in the world, moving ahead towards a serious escalation.
Many Arabian countries like Oman have condemned the attack, calling it as a "Serious Escalation". Even the US President Donald Trump is against further strikes on Energy infrastructures in Iran (Yeah, how will USA loot them after regime change if that happens). But, we all know Israel, they rarely oblige to US desires.
Iran has already started to retaliate, launching strikes on significant energy facilities across the Persian Gulf.
What do you think, can this seriously escalate conflict? Let me know. To all Indians and people who enjoy our content, please join "BharatDefense". We really need your support.

“The Samson Option is a deterrence strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons as a "last resort" against any country whose military has invaded and/or destroyed much of Israel.” —Wikipedia
it sounds like you're unaware that wikipedia is a terrible source; not even high schools will let you use it as such.
i'll fix the part where they're trying to mislead all of us:
So they'd go the MAD route?
it's a bit like the dead hand option that the soviet union built as insurance in case united states was ever crazy enough to attack. it would launch nukes at their enemies, whereas the samson option is pointed at both enemies and allies alike as their own insurance policy to take the whole world down w them.
