Iran will get its ass handed to itself. If you can’t learn or remember history, I can’t help you.
Remember what history, genius?
The history where they revolted and handed us our asses several times?
You cannot win the "let's fuck with international shipping" game with Iran when a quarter of all oil tankers have to pass through a straight that puts them about four miles from Iranian territory.
Iranians are not dumbass Arabs.
Once you realize the issue with your argument, come back to me.
Until then, I got a budget to write.
Defend your thesis or admit you are out of your fucking depth. We never won any conflict with Iran. When you consider the Southern Iraqi insurgency, the Iranian Revolution, and the nuclear program, it's 0 for 3, and that's not including all the little confrontations, including a US Navy patrol boat captured and its crew taken prisoner, several oil rigs raided over the past several decades, and also Iranian assistance provided to the Taliban. Then there are numerous terrorist acts that they never paid for.
Then there is the Straight of Hormuz:
A not insignificant amount of shipping has to pass through there, within only a few miles of the shores of Iran, well within Iranian territorial waters. They control the world's access to probably a quarter if not more of the annual oil supply by that straight. If you want to play a game of fucking with international shipping, Iran is uniquely positioned to completely fuck your shit up.
But I don't "realize the issue with my argument", which you failed to elucidate (because you know you don't have any argument).
