A war with Iran on ground would likely end in catastrophe for America and its allies.
Aerial strikes are the next worst option, as Iran's defenses are significantly stronger, more defended, and more plentiful then Iraq's.
Long range missiles from Sea is the only viable option. And that won't work very well.

Was curious to see what the vote % would be on jsp vs reuters...


Especially against nuclear facilities located a mile under a mountain.
The options for taking down such fortified plants are either tactical nuclear weapons, or lead a ground invasion the captures the surrounding city, fights a ground war against their entire combined military, and works its way down a labyrinthine system of tunnels and mineshafts.

Right now? No.

If Iran continues to be uncooperative and Israel doesn't attack them first? Yes.

If there was definitive evidence that Iran was building a nuclear weapon, I would support surgical strikes.


And to the people who say that the Iranian military would last more than a month against the American military...well, they simply don't know what they are talking about.

You kids play too much call of duty and think you know anything about warfighting. Iran's military would be destroyed like a joke against America's. And Iraq lasted for days not ten years. That was a non-uniformed insurgency.

But Iran stole our drone!!!

/derp

Against a conventional military, no one can come close to America's superiority. I'm pretty sure we'd avoid nation building all together when it comes to Iran too.

Hey kiddo, we lost the Iraq war. Iraq won.
We left in shame and disgrace, thwarted by an intractable foe. We failed at our 'objectives', and like so many conquerors before, we turned our tails and fled, and left the place worse than when we started.

I do love the denialism though. Iraq only lasted 'days'? We lost 6359 men, 16623 allies and 120000-15000 wounded, up to 95000 of them ours.
