    Again, not clear how the US plans to neutralize long range missile capability of Iran.

    Iran has firm support from Russia and China with supply lines running through friendly territory. Russia alone outproduces all of NATO militarily right now by a factor of three. Iran itself has a large industrial base, and can outproduce the US in things like missile production. It’s obvious that the logistics for the US are far worse than they are for Iran here. I also don’t really see Iran lacking in friends at all. It’s pretty clear they’re getting a lot of economic and military support from both Russia and China.

    Also, this might be a surprise for you, but Iran can choose which ships they allow to sail through the strait of Hormuz the same way Yemen allowed Chinese and Russian ships to sail through Suez.

    The Iranian military will be able to produce missiles long after the US military loses its capacity to do so because China isn’t blocking rare earths supplies from Iran like they are form the US. The Americans have no meaningful capacity to produce critical inputs themselves.

    NATO spent a huge chunk of their existing stock piles in Ukraine over past four years, and their production capacity is laughably low. Once the US runs through its missile supplies in the next few weeks, it’s not clear what options they have at that point.

    Meanwhile, if you think that the US is going to break up political face of Iran by bombing then you’re absolutely delusional. There’s been no single conflict in history where this actually happened, and Iran will certainly not going to be the first here.

    You quite literally have no clue regarding the subject you’re opining on here.

      Target the depots and destroy them with artillery.

      This was established decades ago in excersises the US has been running since the Cold War Era.
