I’m so glad my government was wise enough to make peace with Iran despite the US’s objection.

I honestly feel like Iran's proxies have more clout than Iran.
Hamas staged a losing war for a long period which is still going. Houthis disrupted world trade by targeting ships off coast.
Meanwhile Iran got harassed by Pakistan for using some light artillery on some probably random Balochis.
It doesn't really matter if they have the weapons when they can't really use them all that effectively themselves.

Well maybe they'll attack a us ship on their own next time instead of delegating their dirty work 🤷

Yes, because what the US needs right now is another hot war, it is wise to encourage escalation into a direct conflict with Iran.
You do understand that will just make the US empire crumble faster, right?

On one hand, we shouldn't be going around picking fights.
In the other hand, lol try us.

It usually doesn't end well for you, when then try you.

The US wanted to strike Iranian targets without retaliation in order to not lose face globally. Tehran says no. If I were serving on a US military base in the Middle East, I'd be looking for ways to take leave because things are about to get hot.
Why did the US want to strike Iranian targets?
Iran is the world’s fifth most resource-rich country, with the second largest natural gas reserves and the fourth largest crude oil reserves, and with a total value of resources amounting to $27.3 trillion.

To maintain their empire
Because Iran is resposible for the deaths of three US service members in Jordan and the wounding of dozens more.
Hitting Iran in Iran was never a likely scenario, though. The response will almost certainly be to Iran-aligned terrorist and/or militia groups outside of Iranian borders. There's a small chance that it will be to direct Iranian assets outside Iranian borders, but most people in the FA space don't think that this is going to happen, either.
To not lose face, didn't you read?
