Best believe we will go to war with Iran and it will be by accident. As I said before Trump's entire cabinet is full of anti-Iran Hawks. Trumps himself is anti Iran. So war will happen. The Persian Gulf is a place where mistakes can happen for example when those American sailors accidentally were in Iranian waters. Obama and the Iranian regime let cooler heads prevail. And negotiated their release. Imagine Trump a man who wants to show the world how tough he is to compensate for having a baby dikk dealing with a crisis like this?
What this North Korea snafu told me that the real shyt will be with Iran. And that is when shyt gets real. Every Iran war scenario best case scenario is a bloody stalemate for both sides. Read up on an Iran war scenario back in 2002 called Millennium Challenge. Here where the results. red is iran and Blue is the USA.:
This was the most expensive War Scenario to date. And the US was so shocked to see how bad they would lose the war scenario they completely change the script to make it easier for Blue to win. In other words they were so arrogant that they couldnt comprehend losing a war game scenario like that. Now this wa sin 2002. Iran's asymmetrical warfare capabilities has long since been more advanced since then. They have more advanced cruise missiles they can put on speed boats which can't be detected. They have the Russian S-300 which will make a bomb campaign much more harder. They have developed more advanced ballistic missiles to hit American and Uk bases in Qatar,UAE and Bahrain. Their proxies are much more deeper and more trained since 2002. Iran has developed advanced anti ship missiles based on the Chinese silkworm missiles and Russian yakhont. The narrowness of the straits of the Persian gulf is already a major disadvantage for the US navy. Why? Because the anti ship missiles and ballistic missiles will hit their targets faster before these ships can detect them in time. Iran now has the S-300. They have put the missiles in three locations Tehran, nuclear sites and the coast line of iran. This will limit American use of airpower over the Gulf. This quote talks about Iran's naval strategy and it was written in 2010.
This is why Bush and Obama were hesitant to use force against Iran because the US can Yes lose in a war with Iran really badly. The only way the US could get a shot to win is a ground invasion with Iran. And even that will will bankrupt the country and force them reinstate the draft because Iran is much more bigger,urban and mountainous than Iraq. However trump and his cabinet are not hesitant to start a war with Iran. They want war and do not care about the consequences. History has shown that empires decline when there is a perceived though they are declining. They pull of one more stunt to show they are back but it turn it further leads to their decline. I am betting that war with Iran will happen either by accident or by Trumps doing. It will be America's Rocroi. American perceived invincibility would be shattered. The iraq war almost did but not enough. I cannot imagine how the American public could handle losing 20,000 men in a week fighting Iran.
