Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[Master Chief]

no it hasn't, had it made a long term strategic plan it would have found a way to diversify its oil and gas distribution network. As it stands if anything happens to Karg Islands, Iran can only lash out at neighboring countries and Israel for a few days until they run out of missiles and then it's game over. No one with a long term strategic vision will ever prioritize ruinous funding of proxies and missiles over securing their only means of earning cash.

I would first build underground pipe lines to transport my oil and gas through Pakistan or other neighboring countries securely and then build those missile cities. The only calculus in a US decision to cut off Tehrans only means of exporting its oil is that it makes it impossible for anyone to exploit Iran's oil for a few years including the US. A problem that we already face in Venezuela.

I don't disagree. I meant they had a long term military plan, not an economic one.

Their economic decisions are reactionary, based on how the drone +blockade war strategy is panning out.

The US never achieved air superiority over North Vietnam, never decimated decisively North Vietnam air defense, Air Force, manufacturing capability in 10 years of war.

Meanwhile Iran fights much alone. Something goes terribly wrong with Iran diplomatic skill, its military potential. As it seems per announcement from US and Israeli much of Iran capabilities have reduced to ashes in just 2 weeks.

The North also had the benefit of Chinese and Soviet support at a level which is something Iran hasn't had.

Annual production rates are indeed increasing.

Yes of course without money and weapons from China and USSR the chance of North Vietnam against the US is very slim if not zero.

he's nothing like his media persona. It's an act to endear himself to the average American. Do not make the mistake of thinking he is a fool.

He is a gambler and a poser, this latest mis adventure in Iran is only the latest proof. Instead of cutting his losses, he is now doubling down because his ego cannot handle defeat.
