Date: March 27th, 2026 10:49 AM Author: UhOh why didn't iran close the strait and bomb arab facilities years ago? if all the gaming shows that it puts america in an unwinnable position, why have they been sitting on such a strong move? their inaction implies it isn't as strong as it appears.

Date: March 27th, 2026 8:38 PM Author: average/ordinary/typical citizen/person Because it all but guaranteed their annihilation. Or at least it seemed that way before. This always had to be their ace in the hole suicide bomb that only came out when they were really getting boxed in and close to being overthrown. But now that it works if we back off you can expect them to more or less own the middle east soon. Which is unacceptable so we basically have to do full invasion and overthrow them which will result in all the global suicidal destruction anyways but better than allowing them to have it on their own. Quite a fun hypo. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5850468&forum_id=2...id.#49774984) |

Date: March 27th, 2026 11:12 PM Author: cowgod Have you never played chess or done anything irl? The fact that they could do it is part of what made an invasion take 40 years. Once you actually do the thing, you lose the “leverage” that not doing it gave you. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5850468&forum_id=2...id.#49775478) |
Date: March 27th, 2026 10:59 AM Author: :-P (gunneratttt) the us hasnt committed to the war yet struck first. if iran had initated this offensively there would have be more support to stop them.
also they couldn't know how vigorously the us would oppose/attack them. we have the power to stop them if we had the will to use it. that's part of why this is such a disaster: we've proven we're a paper tiger, so we can now expect iran to be more aggressive going forward. |

Date: March 27th, 2026 11:01 AM Author: UhOh one theory i have is that they thought it was inevitable we would attack them, so rather than provoke us they would take that time to build up and get ready and make their position even stronger. and as you note, they look a lot better internationally when we start it.

Date: March 27th, 2026 11:12 AM Author: :-P (gunneratttt) of course, that's why they keep trying to make nukes. the only reason we arent in ukraine right now is because going toe to toe with russia might start a nuclear war. as soon as they get nukes we're going to be was less likely to bully them.
as far as "provoke", thats a matter of opinion i guess. what we see as provoking they see as legitimate. but yeah, they've been "complying" with nuclear inspectors and shit so they can build up but limiting the risk of the hammer dropping. we don't let them inspect our facilities of course. its not like they would do that unless they were coerced. that coercision is a big factor in why they want to get strong enough to resist it. |

oil, gas, helium-- whoever rules the Persian Gulf rules world markets |

Date: March 27th, 2026 11:05 AM Author: UhOh but they're unrapeable, that's the whole thing. they could take complete control over the region at any moment and nothing short of a massive allied invasion could stop it. they could have been making billions in tolls this whole time.

Date: March 27th, 2026 11:12 AM Author: Aryan Women of the East every other country would economically and politically freeze them out and they'd be brutally victimized in whatever resolution eventually happened. their own people would hate them and maybe actually "rise up" against them to some degree
to be clear, iran's leadership is not even actually "choosing" to escalate in the way that they're doing now. they have no real choice. jews will continue to force the US to attack them until they are destroyed. iran's only choice is to continue to proportionately escalate in order to deter further US military aggression. they cannot just "make peace" because israel and the US will just come back later and do the same thing after they regroup. they are FORCED to take this conflict to its conclusion (either the US backs off, or iran is destroyed)

what they can and are resisting is our half assed "haha this will just be another gulf war ez lmao". if Iran attacked unprovoked they would get skullfucked by an actual invasion |

Date: March 27th, 2026 8:56 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband (oppose bitchbois) Why would they want to? The leaders are all perfectly comfortable and can evade the sanctions and continue making bank by selling oil to China and other countries that don't give a shit about "sanctions."
Hypo: If you were making, say, $50M/year under the status quo, would you risk being killed by a US/Israeli strike in hopes of making $100M/year instead? |

why did Regan sign a free trade agreement with Canada instead of invading. could they have stopped us? would anyone have tried to intervene?

Date: March 28th, 2026 8:47 AM Author: LathamTouchedMe Correct. In previous confrontations they would basically tell the US through diplomatic channels that they were going to do a one and done missile strike. This is why obama’s nuclear deal with them was worth maintaining. Overall they were a rational actor and could be contained. Trump blew that up and then struck Soleimani and has been escalating on behalf of Israel ever since. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5850468&forum_id=2...id.#49775839) |
