What makes you think its the mullahs that would do it? You think Democrats are not above taking out one of their own?
Paul Wellstone, eh?
Its a no-go for the wokesters, because it would guarantee that all those Gen-Z sjws would get sent off to war, and would return with a whole lot less social justice baggage. Its a no-go for the Uniparty because its way too messy, and very likely to result in many of their own deaths. Afghanistan is one thing, but Iran is another since that would instantly be a proxy war against us with Russia and China propping up the Iranian side.
I could see Putin doing it, to try to find an excuse to nuke us while we are pointed at Iran (instead of them). But that would be so amateurish that I’m pretty sure that our guys are ready for it.
