US President Donald Trump: "Israel" would not have survived without my actions, including the "US strikes" in Iran
 
From this RT article, it seem the US is confident that if it had just more assets in place, they can "repel" an Iranian massive retaliation : https://www.rt.com/news/631848-us-iran-strike-trump/

Quote :
The US is not ready to strike Iran as it needs to deploy more air defenses to the Middle East to be able to repel a possible retaliation, the Wall Street Journal has reported, citing unnamed American officials.

Over the past few weeks, Washington has dispatched what US President Donald Trump described as a “massive and beautiful armada” to the Middle East, led by the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, to pressure Tehran into accepting a new nuclear deal.

Despite the buildup, American airstrikes on Iran “aren’t imminent” because Washington needs to make sure that Israel, its Arab allies and US forces in the region are properly protected, the WSJ said in an article on Sunday, citing its sources.

____________________________

So, based from the article above, how realistic do you guys think the US calculated that they can perform massive bombing runs on Iran to topple the leadership and still result in 0 Ships sunk, Less than 100 US soldiers in bases throughout the region and in the USN killed?

The US seems very confident they can take down all of Iran's possible means of retaliation which could imply ensuring Straits of Hormuz can remain open while still having to hunt for thousands of SRBM, anti-ship launchers, so is their confidence really plausible or just wishful thinking from the US side they can win this war with very low casualties?

Shamkhani sets out Iran's redlines:

- negotiations limited to the nuclear file

- Iran must enrich uranium up to 20%, but it can dilute the 60% HEU down to 20%

zero compromise

Let us hope for the best outcome for peace without the need for war, in a mutually acceptable manner.

Do we really need to find out the answer to that question?

War is best avoided.

I'm worried that the US doesn't take Iran seriously.
Like as if they don't care if their carrier might get sunk.
If Trump is wise he should break with Netanyahu, pull back the carriers, and genuinely sign a peace treaty with Iran.
But Nuttyahu wants this war, so we have to plan on how Iran can win this war while inflicting max casualties on the enemy.

You always said "war is best avoided" but what if the choice is not up to us? Sometimes war comes to us no matter how hard we want to avoid it. Even this negotiation is just a stalling tactic by the USA.
Then the only thing we can do is to plan and strategize how best to end the war while minimizing our casualties and maximizing the enemy casualties.
 
US does not seem confident in its military options

It can deliver them but it doesn't seem confident in containing the fallout if it initiates such a war -- which is based on reality faulty pretext of helping protestors

But now suddenly the protestors don't matter and it's about Iran's ballistic missile technology

Iran is in a better position to just hold out and not budge

US will likely back down. Leaving Israel to do its own dirty work if it wants to. Which it won't do without major US defenses deployed in region and without US greenlight to back them up

Of course I also believe the US military is magnitudes more ethical than the Israeli one. They won't pull off nasty Nazi technique of mass butchering civilians to achieve political objectives

This is something only Nazis of Israel do. They don't have capacity to do it in Iran. Only immediate neighbors. Israel just skips military objectives all together and resorts immediately to terrorism. Which should be punished by international community.

I do not think that worry is justified.

After all, Iran is the only military power in the region capable of defeating all other countries in the vicinity of rich oil resources that supply the world with energy.

I can assure you USA takes Iran very seriously indeed.

The military under previous governments might not have been inclined to cause indiscriminate mass destruction trump on the other hand if he thinks the war isn’t going his way I don’t think the 🌰 job would even hesitate sending the rest of the Moab all over Iran it’s that or sending hundreds of thousands of American soldiers to invade Iran they did it with Japan to prevent a deadly land invasion I don’t think trump wants another Iraq Afghanistan or Vietnam he wants a beautiful big victory
