The Iran War (was Nuclear Program) thread
-
For Iran it’s simply a matter of waiting Trump out and enduring in the meantime.
For years, Tehran has operated on a simple premise: survival against a superior military power constitutes success. In its enduring confrontation with Israel and the US, Tehran has always believed that conflict with one would draw in the other.
"Still standing" is not a fallback outcome - it is the objective. One month into the war, the Islamic Republic's command structures still function, its state apparatus holds, and its deterrent, though degraded, is not broken.

Waiting is a two edged sword. The US doesn't necessarily have to "win" or have regime change to keep Iran in submission. The US can merely bomb Iran into the stone age on a regular basis, maybe every ten years or so and let nature take its course. And through bad planning and back luck Iran is going through an drought of Biblical proportions that may do more damage to Iran than all the bombs put together and as we saw there is a significant undercurrent of hostility to the severe Islamicism of the people running the country. America should drop its bombs and then see what happens. -

It’s not so much what happens in Iran as a result of the bombs, it’s the unacceptable cost of the collateral damage to every supply chain and national economy beyond Iran’s borders that a campaign of bombing Iran “back to the stone ages” that matters.

We can learn a thing or two from Iran it seems. Also, watch the video in the article about the F-47. Impressive.
