Ilovethebomb comments on Iran pulls a gangster move..

They're a petrostate with a hopelessly outdated air force, the US or any other developed country can destroy their infrastructure at their leisure and bring their economy to it's knees. Which they would happily do if Iran sinks a vessel flagged in their waters.

They also need a working vessel to lay those mines.

You realize that threats like this don't work AFTER you already did it, right?

Sure, and they are going to bomb it regardless, you see the problem with killing the people you were negotiating with? The next guy isn't going to come to the table.

Think Americans are going to give up all their comforts and wealth just to bump off Iran?

Also just to add to your point. Even if Trump and Co try to force away those conforts how long till you start getting little IRA style sessesionist groups? The US powergrid alone is a rather vast vulnerability.

The Iranian nation as we know it only came into existence with the fall of the Shah.

The land will always be there, the regime, not so much.

And what do you suppose happens to all those civilians whose economy is now in shambles? Assuming they aren't killed in the missile strikes, that is.
