Any terrorist attacks will give us the excuse we’ve been waiting for to thoroughly dismantle the Iranian military machine. Given that this machine is what has been keeping the mullahs in power despite major internal revolts, I’d think they’d be leery of Uncle Sam destroying it. But the US response to Iranian provocations has been so limp-wristed over the decades that I don’t really blame the mullahs for trying their luck.

The liberal media keeps going on about war, as if the only option open to Trump is an invasion. In reality, a super-sized version of the 80’s airstrikes on the Iranian navy are an option. But this time, with stealth aircraft and long range JDAM’s not available in the 80’s, the US could literally flatten every major Iranian military facility.
