Iran cannot win conventionally because it is fighting NATO resources and not just 'tiny Israel'. The best way to deter Israel was through Iran's allies in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq. Some of them have been neutralized but many are still present. They should get as close to Israeli border as possible and continue to launch rockets, artillery, missiles, drones-- whatever they have.
In the Gaza war thread, I had said many times that with the grave damage to Hezbollah, with the toppling of Assad AND with Trump being in the office, there is no way Netanyahu is not going take advantage of the 'unique opportunity' and target Iran. If a novice like me saw what was coming as assuredly, then why didn't the Iranians??
And, yes, Trump has already proven even worse than Biden as far as the Middle East is concerned!!
