Ouch! That's gotta hurt!
So much for Operation Epic Fury, more like Operation Epic Pussies.

They should complete their victory by getting a nuke, that should be the natural outcome of this war of aggression against them.

Trouble is it will have cascading effect in the ME, everyone will want it i.e. Saudi Arabia and all the rest. It will increase the possibilities of accidents. I think Iran has come up with a very reasonable 'nuclear option' i.e. being in charge of the Hormuz Straits.

One nuclear isn't enough

The Iranians would need the infrastructure that goes with nulear weapons. Why bother when they've won?

With nutcases like Trump and Hegseth about and the absolute psycho lunatics in Israel...

...constantly breathing down their necks...Samson Option and all that stuff, I'd prefer to have a nuke in reserve.
Iran might have won this particular campaign but who's to say they won't be up against the same shit again in the future.

-- This is exactly the point. We aren't seeing a war that's the result of some kind of 'dispute' that can be fixed by a bit of 'diplomacy' and some negotiated give-and-take. This is the USrael monster fighting its endless war for total world dominance. And those strategic imperatives will not go away until USraeli military and economic power is finally broken. All that USrael will do here -- if it is allowed to! -- is freeze the conflict until such a time as it can be advantageously restarted.

Naturally, there is literally zero willingness in the MSM to discuss US actions in this way.
