That isn't really fair. Zachowon very clearly thinks we'd kick their asses, and thinks that a war with China is extremely likely, but for all the silly things he posts, I've never seen him clamoring for war.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
That's going to start an oil shortage?
Iranian warships appear to begin first Atlantic crossing as U.S. warns against weapons transfers
It's still unclear where the ships are headed, but docking in Venezuela is a concern.

Beware USA! Iran has sent two whole frigates to protect Venezuela! Surely your sailors shall rather jump into the waters of the Atlantic rather than risk facing the might of the Iranian navy!
Looks like Biden is willing to surrender sanctions for the hope that Iran will come to the Negotiation table.
Leave no mind that the Iranian economy is reeling, the Commie Cough is still ravaging its country and its being hoped that there will be historically low turnout for their fake elections this year. It's always prudent policy to help your geopolitical rival at their weakest so that when they recover they'll... uhhh something. Hey look it worked with North Korea in the 1990's...

Iranian president has next to no real power, his job is basically to distract the foreign media away from the Supreme Leader.

Or it was just one of those industrial mishaps that happen occasionally, with Mossad using the chance to stoke their paranoia.

You know I just have to say it’s sad that Iran fell to the Islamic mind virus. I mean correct me if I’m wrong but while Iran and Saudi Arabia and other Arabs would be doomed to be rivals that is not necessarily true for Iran if they were not Islamic but still Zoroastrian they would have no reason to care about Jerusalem or Israel in general and thus no reason use Hezbollah as a proxy. In that case it would have been in their interests to actually work with Israel against other Muslim powers.

Iran isn't Arab. It's Persian.
And yes, that the Muhammedans attacked right after Persia and the Byzantines had had their latest round of beating the shit out of each other has had some pretty tragic results.

I know it isn't Arabian, thats why I said Iran geo politically if it wasen't brainwashed with Islam under the current geo political status would be anti Arab and Muslim, and ally with Israel since they would both be opposed by Islamic and Arab groups. It still might hate the US since they would want nukes, any nation that is smart would want nukes. But they would not be hostile towards Israel because the people Israel mostly has to deal with are Arab both the Sunni Hamas, and the Shia Hezbollah are made of Palestinians who are Arab. The only reason Iran supports Hezbollah is because they are Shia Muslim. They aren't the same people/race/ethnicity. Islam really is corruptive.

and to make things worse for both Empires just a generation and a half prior the plague had gutted their populations a fair bit. Take away that plague and Islam remains largely confined to the Arabian Peninsula. Even with those wars factored in
Actually ancient persia and Israli has pretty warm feelings, the only non jewish messiah was the persian king who undid the exile, and ancient persia was well known for being religiously tolerant and actually banned slavery for the most part. So lots of good to their name.
Well CNN posted it so it must be true. It's Trump's fault that there's no chance of reformation in Iran...
Iran's lone nuclear power plant has shut down due to 'emergency repairs.' Built with Russian cooperation and assistance as part of a nonproliferation agreement, the plant has suffered from lack of spare parts and key equipment due to ongoing sanctions that intensified since 2018.

Shit happened.
The United States has conducted airstrikes near the Syrian-Iraqi border targeting three "operational and weapons storage facilities" with two being in Syria and one in Iraq. The facilities were operated by the Iranian-backed militias known as Kataib Hezbollah and Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, both of whom have relations to the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Front. Estimates range between four and seven Iranian-backed militia fighters being killed with the Syrian government citing that one child was also killed in the airstrikes.
The above two groups were targeted back in February as a reprisal for a militia rocket attack on a US facility which resulted in the death of a US employed Filipino contractor. Kataib Hezbollah was designated a terrorist organization back in 2009 and is responsible for numerous attacks on US forces in the Middle East. Their leaderm Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, was killed in the same operation that ended the life of top Iranian General Qassim Soleimani.
