He definitely made the right call.

You cannot undo an attack on an adversaries mainland.

“If you are not committed to existential war, for the duration and no matter what else“

We would need 80-100 land divisions to conquer Iran and keep the Russians out.

Not to mention the fact that neither the representatives of the people nor the representatives of the states will declare war - because there is no support for it.
