The question is what's a win here? End of all sanctions is a given. But other than that?

My guess is right to missiles and LEU technology at a minimum.

My guess is right to missiles and LEU technology at a minimum.

And what guarantees can Iran get that Israel/USA doesn't attack again? Can they trust them?

 

[maverick]

Iran is going for a win, plain and simple.

I dont think thats possible against Israel and US. Both countries hold the escalation ladder. That can be troops on the ground to nuclear weapons use in case battle is going south.

I think its just a start of the war and then ground troops will compose of NATO striking from the North and amphibious assault from the south and mercenaries from Iraq.

If not then US power status will be severely hurt and the $ will crash globally.

Can the Iranians assemble a dirty bomb if push comes to shove?

And what guarantees can Iran get that Israel/USA doesn't attack again? Can they trust them?

If USA and USSR/Russia can trust each other with nuclear weapon reductions, I am sure some effective mechanism for verification will work here too.

That is Iran's goal here, I think.

War is never predictable. Hubris has been the downfall of many a dominant power in human history.

This is for the morons who said Iran wasn't muslim. lol

Don't forget only 2% of Iran is Jewish. but 33% of the Persians in Los Angeles are Jewish.

Tehranjeles is not a representation of Iran.

Many Iranians pretend that they have nothing to do with Islam . The thing is Iran did not merely join Islamic civilization, it transformed + preserved it + carried it across continents which many Iranians esp diaspora liberals try to hide from world. Iran broke free from direct Arab control within decades, a relatively short historical span in our 3000 years old history, yet remained Muslim by choice despite returning to native Empire rule post Islam pretty shortly. It was Iranian intellect, statecraft, poetry, philosophy, and scientific brilliance that powered Islamic Golden Age, the greatest civilizational accomplishment of the Muslim world to date. Later, Persian culture and the Persianate state model transmitted through Irano-Turkic empires from Iran and Central Asia to India and Anatolia, shaping vast regions for centuries that lasts today. Iran was the chief architects of Islamic civilization. The fun part is I am not even a religious person but this is what it is no matter what a Pahlavist tries to tell the world.

Do you think Israel would allow Iran to rain down ballistic missiles on it if Iran was a Nuclear armed state? Israel would have to assume that they are carrying Nuclear warheads and retaliate in kind.

The most destructive usage for one nuclear weapon is not blow up in the ground, it's blow up in the atmosphere and trigger a big electromagnetic pulse that it would destroy all electronics in hundreds miles around.

Attacking big economic interests it hurts more ruling elite interests than kill common people and beggars.

One nuclear EMP and the whole country technologically come back to medieval age, hundreds billion dollars in losses.

Only takes one bomb to destroy Pisrael forever.

Be careful about your wish.

That's very true, however, it only takes an israeli Samson option to potentially kill millions of Christians and Muslims.

I am of the opinion US / Israel might try to enforce a no fly zone over an extended period of time and then have the confidence to send boots on the ground.

Even this strategy has a lot of holes. Trump’s popularity will nosedive when they see oil prices hitting the roof and Iran is not Iraq where they’ll run out of missiles, drones or importantly the will to fight against aggressors.

what is Irans end game? if they are not willing to have a cease fire, how do they see the war ending ?

Crash the world economy and press restart. Pretty good game goal.

Aligned EMP > Nuke in terms of tech impact

That itself is enormous win for Iran.
