Highly doubt it. Iran isn't just Iraq 2.0, they have a large military. Better missiles than the US, even! Doubt the navy wants to see Kaliburs introduce a carrier to the sea floor.
Remembering that interview with a lib podcast where said something to the effect of "Iran has a moral imperative to obtain nukes" to deter US invasion and it stunlocked the hosts
There were rumours flying around that they are in testing phases for the blast charges. Once they have these it's just a matter of adding the enriched part.
Iran loves edging about the nukes; I think they actually don't have any, but have the materials and expertise to make them very quickly if the need arises. So if they think shit is about to go down they could prolly whip up a couple warheads and put them on whatever nuclear capable launch systems they have, or get some donated by Russia and China.
It's not. But the US seems completely unwilling to rein in Israel/Bibi. I think there's a very good chance Bibi continues the escalations to war. Once Israel is at war on 4 fronts, I don't think there's any way the US doesn't put boots on the ground. Israel is already low on manpower (they've already expanded mandatory enlistment).
man i keep trying to convince my dad to move from iran but he refuses. he lives in some big ass house right next to the caspian sea in a tiny village. you'd think a place like that wouldn't be bothered by ameriKKKa but i still worry
"Oh yeah, just let me call him. -- Beau! Beau! Yeah I know...just leave the eastern European women alone for...well take their passports then...this was the deal, you idiot! -- Haha anyway yeah he's a great guy, he'll find you a nice trench in Ukraine where you can really stick it to imperialism!"
Iran is pretty vital in Belt and Road right? I'd imagine this is ultimately another step in efforts to wreck that project. Of course it'd be bipartisan.
