Unless you go boots on the ground, they will replenish cheap drones in facilities we don’t even know about. We are blowing up their obvious targets - Air Force and Navy equipment.



No they cannot. This is their big temper tantrum, they shot their wad. The US, GCC states, and the rest of the world will not allow them to just randomly interdict the global economy whenever they feel like it, indefinitely.

What are you gonna do about it? Bomb them? They absolutely will create turmoil. Everyone in the ME has stabbed Iran in the back. They’ll remember all of it and retaliate this for time to come.

While they have the capacity to create enough risk to spook maritime insurance brokers, that's not the same as having enough capacity to physically stop commerce. The rest of the world just has to decide they've had enough (or the Iranian people might).
This overthrow nonsense needs to stop. It’s not happening. You don’t go bomb a country to obliteration and simultaneously tell the people to go uprise.


Also while almost nobody in the US wants boots on ground, that is one way to secure the AG/SoH. I won't get into details but we don't need to seize the entire country.
I’ve heard it all now. Obama will get us into a war with Iran. Kamala will get us into a war with Iran. Trump getting into an Iran war was wild - after calling out the other two for potentially doing the same.

Boots in Iran will fail, just like Vietnam and Afghanistan.
