@Rasta I see a third option.only two likely outcomes: a major military escalation or “humiliation in full view of the world.”How about both? I don't see why Iran would not attack, so the major escalation looks pretty much certain.But if Orange goes even more berserk after that, who says the US isn't humiliated again? This "special military operation" has already shown the world that the US isn't nearly as powerful as it thinks.Sure, enough military equipment, but in the hands of a totally incompetent imbecile. He stuck his foot in it the same way as Putin did in Ukraine, and that war made short measures with our idea that the Russian military force was immense.I imagine things will escalate, and Orange will have no other option than to deploy the land army, leading to huge losses in both human lives and money. Not only got for the US, btw.And I have yet to see him vanquish Iran, chances are this is going to be a second Vietnam.Wouldn't that be the ultimate humiliation? President "no more wars" drags the nation into another Vietnam.

Interview: Iranians cannot trust the US.Eg, during the Iran-Iraq war, the US & allies aided Saddam. Germany provided chemical-weapons materials & the US, the delivery systems.When Iran asked the UN Security Council to condemn Iraq's use of chemical weapons, the US vetoed it.Plus, in recent years, the US has attacked Iran during negotiations."Iranians have good reasons to be skeptical of US  intentions".~Behrooz Ghamarihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5rlfQ0GNnU#EUPol #USPol #iran #negotiations #news .

@Nonilex Surely any action by #US or US affiliated ships in the region is part of the illegal war started and continued there by #POTUS? #Iran previously made it clear that allies of the US will be treated as part of the US when it comes to defending their area, and the previously uncontested seas off the coast of Iran.
