Iran says it's ready for war with US



Surely the yanks can just send The Avengers over to sort it out. I know Iron Man is dead but they could just stick Downey Jr in the suit and they're not going to know

The US are massively more powerful but dont have an end game in attacking Iran.

They could try a small scale strategic attack to bring them inline but it wouldn't work and risk escalation.

They are not going to invade Iran and force regime change. It's not Iraq. Its huge, has some of the worst terrain in the World and a much stronger military then Saddam had.

And if they try to destroy them completely and it's an existential threat then Iran and hizbollah will destroy Israel with the hundreds of thousands of missiles they have aimed at them. They will die in the process but if nothing left to lose they would overwhelm Israel with shear missile numbers alone.

In a game of military top trumps the US hammers Iran. But they have no realistic outcome in a war with them and Irans ace card is the threat they are to Israel.

It really wouldn't.

If the US attacked Iran and were in danger of bringing them to their knees it would be the end of Israel for a start.

I’d imagine plans are already in place to bomb the fuck out of any missile installations in Iran and anywhere else for that matter , the first few hours would see absolute hell reign down on Iran in that respect.
How America tackled it on the ground afterwards is another matter but make no mistake that America and Israel for that matter would have had plans going back years and multiple presidents for this sort of scenario

Iran have a very advanced missile programme. The US helped Iran start it decades ago.

It's easy to say they would target these but Iran has a massive cave network all over the country and its missiles well guarded.

And regardless of Iran Hezbollah has 100000 to 120000 missiles aimed at them hidden all over Southern Lebanon.

Israel know this is a massive challenge for them:

Why Israel Fears Iran’s Presence in Syria

With its advanced missile arsenal, Hezbollah is better prepared than ever to inflict maximum damage.
