I don't think you seem to understand it isn't about "Iran" as such. If the Iranian government and military and state were in the geography of Syria this would've been over before the first Iraq war. But instead, in our post-war collective western brilliance, we built up concentrated required resource to power modern civilization in one geography and then further shifted all the production for modern civilization to a region that depends solely on that geography output, and then for 50 years have allowed a rogue state to entrench itself with suicide vest arsenal for sole purpose of destroying all of it if we try to topple them. Which his what's happening.

But actually let me correct that, now that this strategy of theirs has worked and we have for all intents surrendered, unless something changes, there's no reason we won't see Putin or rocket man start blowing up middle eastern oil fields to demand what they want too. Only reason Putin won't is because he has a sense of international legitimacy and prestige for Russian empire but no real reason not to. For that matter no reason for anyone to not start missiling capital cities everywhere. The illusion of AMERICAN deterrence is over.
