THINK TANK: CONSULTANT
Yes, I obviously agree with that. I am not talking about winning the war, I am talking about survival. If we cannot establish some red lines and some form of deterrence and they continue to hit our power plants, dams, medical supplies, LNG production sites, steel and aluminum factories, etc. we will have a complete state collapse in a short time, and it could very well be the end of Iran as well.
Despite any or all of that, I do not see any reason to end Iran as a state, for that would not achieve anything, for anybody.
Iran is here to stay. There should be no doubt that at all. Ever.
Only thing to work out, then, is how Iran interacts with others in the region, and that is a much more resolvable issue than considering destruction of the entire state.
