The US is much too smart. The threat of Iran is what makes the Saudis pally with the US. The US has nothing to gain from winning a war against Iran.What a load of crap, irgc cant do shit against the US navy. Iranian air force and navy is a joke only their army can put up some resistance against the US forces.
In today's world, no country can casually alter global balance by selectively hitting one country and hoping that other's wont join in. It's the same reason India can't attack Pakistan. The world really doesn't care about Pakistan as much as they are apprehensive about India becoming a large power within Asia and how that power dynamics affects how a confident India would negotiate with them later. Same with Iran. Iran's existence keeps a certain balance of power between the West, the East and Russia up north. If Iran were to give Russia access to the warm water ports, then it would undo American balance of power in Asia. The US started the Afghan Jihad to prevent the Soviets from coming into these waters. They wouldn't want to risk such a thing again. If Iran collapses, they will surely invite Putin like Assad and Maduro did.
China and India wouldn't want the US sitting on both sides of the gulf shores. One is fine with them being posted on the Saudi side of the shores, but India, China, Russia will want to have Iran in the Asian sphere of influence. The US is already sitting in Afghanistan to prevent Asian nations from expanding their reach Westwards. If they take Iran too, it will de facto cut India and China's trade lines to Central Asia, Russia and Europe and dwarf our growth. << That seems to be the plan.
Let's not forget the US has come from 7 oceans across to pick fight with an Asian country under a false pretext. They have no business being here. They had no business flying drones over Iran. Any change of status quo that arises from a US invasion of Iran will be at the expense of the other hopeful powers in the region. We will have a superpower sitting on our neck and dictating our trade policy.
