although Iran isn't Venezuela and has way more military capability. I think it may come down to drones and hypersonics; how many Iran has, how effective they are, how well the septics can defend against them (in the case of hypersonics I've been led to believe there is no defending them but they can't have very heavy warheads because it renders them too slow. So they are sure to get through but don't do much damage [although probably enough to sink a boat?], is that correct?).

It seems that some sort of conflict is inevitable given the amount of build up and the long-term goals of the evil empire of genocidal entities and I have to say sadly that it won't be very good for Iran in the end but they could inflict some serious damage potentially.

As for Delcy, all her revolutionary credentials aside, I think it's almost certain that there was some sort of bargain between her and the empire. Perhaps the nuts and bolts was delegated to a spook/military dude who had to carry the can (I recall their head of intelligence or something like it was arrested just afterwards) but I don't see as she had much choice and the fact that they've taken Maduro and then left everyone else to function seems to suggest cooperation on some level.
