If you remember more than a hear ago they launched missiles into Syria and hit ISIS bases accurately.
The level of accuracy was suprising to all observers including the US, this was a message that was loud and clear.

What does this mean strategically ?
before this technical advancement if the iranians were to attack a US base in lets say the airbase next to Mussafax Abudhabi
their accuracy was so bad that they would more likely hit empty desert or even residential areas of abudhabi.
Iranian missiles had zero tactical use and only usefull a s a terror weapon.

Today its different the Iranians can hit exactly what they want to hit and this has catastrophic implications for the Gulf and the US and the World.


In a full scale war with the US the Iranians know that they cannot stop an air attack, the US will go after civilian targets like infrastructure, hospitals, etc in an attempt to blow Iran back to the "stone age" like they like to say.
Most of its millitary assets will still remain like it did with serbia.
When NATO had air attacks on Serbia , the serbs lost less than 10% of its assets, NATO was hitting empty targets,
going after civilians made the serbs surrender..

Today in Irans case when the US goes after their infrastructure, they have so many vulnerable targets like US bases filled with US troops surrounding them.
They can target the Oil fields of Saudia and UAE take out more than 15 million barrels per day of supply, if you add Iraq and Irans thats another 5 millions barrels out of commision for several months probably years.
The world economy will crash, the derivative bubble will burst and stock markets wiped out.

There is a pumping station in Saudia that pumps seawater into the oil fields to keep the pressure up,
if that single station is hit that alone wipes out more than half of saudias supply.
and then there is the nightmare scenario for the gulf, the powerstation/desalination plants .

If they are hit there is no doubt thousands will die every day from thirst, thousands more will die form people attempting to run away and the total breakdown of law and order.
The UAE, Saudia practically and anyone that gets hit will cease to be a country.


This is why there will not be a war, Iran finally has deterrence,

Why do you think North Korea has been untouched,
If a single US cruise missile malfunctions and accidently goes over the border, the north koreans will unleash everything and thr most conservative estimates say that at least 100,000 civilians in South Korea will die within the first 12 hours.

This is without Nuclear weapons,..
But the blood thirsty neocons are circling the wagon here in DC bro! These think tank heads like FDD, Washington Institute, are in the ears of the Trump administration. They don't give a damn. Its the same people from the Bush years. Plus the big donors like Sheldon Adelson want Iran nuked. I kid you not.
