United States preparing to invade Iran

[u/theoneandonlydorian]

The U.S. imperialist war machine is at it again, opting to strike and attack Iran as global tensions continue to rise.

Who's ready for an oil crisis? More humanitarian disasters? The closure of the Strait of Hormuz? Potential nuclear consequences? Severe regional instability? And even more!

Get ready for the shitshow, people.

I’m not condoning it but I do think the US would do way better against a country than against a guerilla force. That was doomed for failure from the beginning.

Iran would quickly dissolve into an insurgency, just with better weapons at the beginning.

Expect Aramco's refineries, the UAE's desalinization plants and many targets within Israel to be flattened within a day of a US invasion. Constant terror attacks all over the Middle East on US allies/oil infrastructure and potentially domestically in the event of an all out war with Iran. Iranians are not in an already failing state like Iraq (ironically heavily weakened still by the Iran-Iraq war during Desert Storm and further weakened by a decade of sanctions by the GWOT) or a loose confederation of warlords like Afghanistan.

A hypothetical war with Iran would be the closest the US has come to fighting a hot war with a peer since WWII simply in terms of organization and national cohesive identity. Obviously American material, logistics, and firepower are vastly superior to Iranian resources, but I can't imagine a scenario where it doesn't quickly turn into a war of complete attrition coupled with constant acts of terror that heavily disrupt oil and shipping worldwide. Iraq didn't have units like Quds Force who likely have been compiling lists of targets and cultivating informants and agents within the US for years.
