    The only adversary Iran faces that truly has the means to destroy Iran and possibly get away with it is the United States. That is the reality -- and the rest of your views are the product of a deep seated delusion and decades of propaganda I surely cannot remedy here.

    Iran was circling the drain until Obama and Biden each threw them multibillion dollar lifelines to rebuild their military forces, both presidents doing so because the prior republican presidents chose to squeeze them into behaving, "therefor it was bad".
    This is what is wrong with our system of government.

    Everything is real has done has been in response of things Iran has done. The aggressor is clearly Iran

    Who says anything about getting away with it? Israel could turn Iran into glass at the push of a button.

    But I wasn't just talking about brute force. If Iran had the means Israel would cease to exist as a country. Israel does not wish the same of Iran. Probably just wanting an adult country to trade with...

    Disagree, Israel and Saudi Arabia could both get away with destroying Iran and both have the means to do so.

    This exchange of fire is just a bit of signalling between the two, I don’t think the Iranians want the war with Israel yet but it was nice of them to show Hezbullah & Hamas they did something.

    The Iranian state are a bit of a pariah globally and don’t have that many friends, even in the Middle East. Shame really as the Iranian people are lovely in general and many don’t support their governments actions, they cook great food too!

    Iran could destroy Israel. Those who need to know this know it already. But you imagine as you wish.

    A few weeks before Saudi Arabia's ARAMCO oil facilities went up in smoke, Saudi Arabia's MBS was on 60 minutes claiming Saudi Arabia could match and defeat Iran. After the ARAMCO event, he went to Trump to beg for help and when he realized he would be on his own, that was the last of such boasts by him.

    In the recent Iranian strike, Iran intentionally employed a large swarm of decoys and duds and gave everyone notice of their flight path to throw Biden a bone to allow him to claim he was defending Israel without the US having go get involved attacking Iran. More importantly, however, Iran also made 2 things very clear to the Israelis: 1- you will need the US to protect you against Iran, so behave accordingly; 2- even with advance notice and US+ assistance, we have missiles that can hit even your most sensitive and heavily protected bases. Out of only12 kheibar shekan missiles used, at least 9 hit their targets.

    It would certainly test the coherence of Iran. You can't seem to even manage a few home grown terrorists. Nor for that matter, liberated women.

    Lol.

    That’s an interesting way of looking at it, I agree with you that I believe Iran knew that their missiles would be intercepted, if they didn’t know that they wouldn’t have fired them? They don’t want that war yet…or do they ever?

    Why not just support Hezbullah & Hamas? I mean you guys have enough going on with your proxy war in Yemen with the Saudis right?

    I wonder the offensive that the Saudis are planning in Yemen whilst your Houthis fire missiles at ships with again…little success….in response to all of this?

    Without US support, the score would be Israel 0 Iran 0 with both sides being destroyed

    The US shot down most of the drones and missiles so your scoreline was wrong

    Strategic oil reserves have not been replenished because oil has been over $80 a barrel. Good ole Joe told everyone oil was gonna drop to $30. HA!

    Joe don't want oil and petroleum products to be affordable. He has another agenda.

    It was sold at over $90. Given that the US produces more oil than it uses, the reserve is no longer needed anyway
