#Iran has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to withstand invasions, making it almost impossible to subjugate. But why is that? What makes Iran so tough?

[Adder]

Exactly. Quit giving them money...quit giving them OUR money.

Bet they fold then.

They are easy to defeat. Just take out Kharg Island. Economy collapses overnight.

[Reily]

Agree!

Seizing it in a coup de main is an interesting thought.
It could easily be isolated since Iran has no naval assets that couldn’t be easily dealt with.

I don’t think you understand the shipping that takes place in the Caspian, where product can be intermixed with other product from non sanctioned countries.

or, Just take it... 8^)

Had Jimmy Carter been any part of a president, a single B-52 strike would have wrapped up their revolution and removed any need to invade them now.

Or he could have just not betrayed the Shah, and the people of Iran.

That's nice, but it can't replace the 96-96% of oil that Iran exports via the 16 terminals at Kharg, a massive vulnerability. An attack there, coupled with targeted assassinations of Khamenei and his entire general staff, followed by MOAB strikes on the nuclear facilities, would silence them for a decade as we focus on fomenting a massive civil war.

You nailed it.
Smart people.

I think there is a real shortage of “Alexanders” around lately.

[Owen]

But they already had a civil war. They threw out the Shah. The people in charge are who the people want.

And no about Kharg. The sanctions would stop that were those numbers real. They ship on the Caspian, and their maximum power is that they have the #2 natgas reserves in the world, deep under the Persian Gulf and they share them with Qatar.

Could bomb that, but I don’t think a bomb that big would leave the Persian Gulf intact, which would end exports from rather more other places.

It’s pretty hard to regime change a place that their population wants in place.

[outofsalt]

Only because the right people haven’t tried. Yet.

[Chode]

yup, that too...

[algore]

because they liked their freedom and democracy, until we took it away.

Already defeated by islam, so the great satan can hardly polute it worse with homosexuality, child slaughter, and materialism. The sin of slavery and terror keeps those “freedoms” at bay.
