Iran should stay the course and stick to striking the entity. The goal should be ending the entity and that's how you defeat the US in the region in the end also. Just be like, yeah all our nuclear shit got destroyed, you got us good, and keep targeting vital zio infrastructure until the colonists "voluntarily migrate" or whatever euphemism was used for Palestinians.

That's basically the approach that Russia's been taking in Ukraine incidentally. They ignore all the provocations and just focus on winning through attrition.

Oh you are absolutely correct, they have played it smart despite numerous provocations. The settlers are absolutely losing their shit in less than a week. Hate to be cliche but I dont think they are built for this which makes sense. They are there to live a life of luxury, not be in a shelter with other selfish monsters.

It didn't even cross my mind, the lot of them having to be stuck together. Miserable Company.

Some cuban telegrams are echoing your thoughts too. It will be interesting to see what Iran decides.

Yeah, i think this was a provocation to trigger a retaliation, but what do I know, I am definitely not a geopolitical strategist.

It is a strategy although I'm not sure it's the best strategy.

Any attack Iran suffers from the usa without retaliating will lead to a bigger attack and more joining in. It starts with an attack on nuclear sites and in a few steps could lead to a "limited nuking" of somewhere or other.

The only thing that I think could be worse for leading to widescale usage of nukes than attacking nuclear facilities is accepting an attack against ones nuclear facilities/structures unpunished.

You may be right. Unfortunately not a lot of options. They should have gotten a nuke long ago
