I think Pres Reagan would have hit Iran first.
Protecting Israel would have been the 2nd thing he would be protecting in his mind.
The first would be America.
Hitting Iran first would be protecting America in the long run and Pres Reagan played that type of chess.
You think he would have blew up their oil?
He didn't retaliate after the Marines barracks bombing in Beruit.
Yep, and he also probably would have had some joint help from Maggie Thatcher as well.
When Iran first started talking about retaliation, Regan probably would have sent over some B-2’s for a show of force, even if it was only to blow up a camel park.
