The only reasons we didn't get into a war with Iran:
>it's a country with more mountains than Afghanistan
>it's a ballistic missile porcupine
>no countries near it will allow American troops to use themselves as a launch pad to invade it
>it would be so unpopular that it might cause something to... *happen* at home (utterly unthinkable)
>the insurgency would literally be impossible to handle
>Iran has powerful friends. Namely China. The power dynamic is less in America's favor than it was in 2003
>much of its arsenal is in unknown locations
>Iran has a larger population than Iraq and Afghanistan combined
>the information war is completely and utterly against America and Israel even among Americans. Fighting this war would make *everyone* despise America except Israel, including the American populace. Leading again to point no. 4.
>worst case scenario and America actually wins the war by the grace of Satan: Iran launches all of its missiles at Israel and razes it to the ground anyways.
America and Israel realized that its a complete lost cause to try to fight Iran. The war didn't stop because America bombed a nuclear site (that Iran had already evacuated), it stopped because the 2 jewish powers realized that they would be completely fucked in this potential war. A reevaluation of reality is required for them. We no longer live in the early post-soviet collapse world anymore and America simply isn't as important or as powerful relative to other countries as it was 20-30 years ago. They're chomping at the bit for regime change and are just seething that they simply can't do it the same way they did in Iraq anymore.

Ok, so, based on this I'm reconsidering my previous position on staying out of a war with Iran. Now I think we should air strike the shit out of them but leave all their missile sites in tact.

I'd walk it back a step further, actually
Invent a time machine
The soviet union had a full scale plan in place to *nuke and invade israel* during the 6 day war
First, make sure that Kennedy doesn't die so that ziocuck faggot lbj doesn't take office
Let the liberty incident happen as-is to fuel JFK's rage towards Israel and make the US not support it
And then simply egg khruschev on slightly more for a spiritual successor to the judeo-roman wars. This would also more than atone for the holodomor. It would be really funny

You had me at 'invent a time machine'
Although I'd go back to 1937 and tell a certain someone how it ends and what comes next, then I'd wait around to see what German 'death camps' really would have looked like.
But you see, the irony of the soviet union turning the jewish "homeland" into a radioactive pile of slag is the main reason I picked this option
Plus, it rounds up a shit ton of jews into one place.
And this was a legitimate option that by all intents *would* have happened too, if washington wasnt threatened into forcing peace by the ussr's invasion plans. It wasn't just bluffing. Soviet ships in the area had their entire crews volunteer to be marines in the event of an amphibious landing on israel and ran drills for the scenario.

Slightly convoluted plan, but a fun one

Oh what could have been
