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



At this point they are antagonizing the populations of US and israel a lot more than they are antagonizing Iranians.

Retaliations, from Iran aside, power plants in Iran can be rebuilt

Also, as with other countries including Russian border areas, as well as Palestine, a majority of civilians can shift to solar power ... but israel will be hated for ever to come by the next generations in the US.
 
It's true that war planning from political leadership of US has been absolutely crap.
Iranian hands were going too far in middle east through asymetric warfare and regional planning was required to cut them down but here we are.

Still ground invasion is the natural discourse going forward. If American military can create a buffer zone between SoH and the Iranian territory of control by capturing the Iranian coastline, shipping can restart through SoH.
Only problem is, that if is a BIG IF, at least for now.
I just don't see Americans backing down from here and i may be wrong.

Do you know why the shipping is stopped?
No insurance!
Iran has hundreds of miles of coast... it is impossible to protect the vessels which even Houthis didn't allow with much less.

Ground invasion is easier said than done. It will need a much higher commitment, larger footprint and there is no appetite for that... Americans live on generally very tight budgets. People often do not have money for emergencies and wouldn't take a day off even if sick or other persona/familial milestone/commitment... because there are bills to pay.

Guess what? If people start losing their jobs, can't afford food, groceries or gas, can't pay their rent, utilities or insurance... jig will be up very quickly and to sign up to go to war against Iran.

As a side note, Iran should crater the runway at the airport now. I know they have placed trucks over it, but it is possible for marines to do a beach head landing, and then clear the trucks. By cratering it, it makes it much harder to get back into operation if the marines occupy it.


Even if they manage to deploy these airborne troops to Kharg or wherever , those troops have to be supplied with food, water, ammo and stuff and even if the Americans can protect the troops from hundreds and thousands FPVs but can they protect the logistics???
