#223OK what was done was done. What should we expect the political fallout in Iran?

The Iranian regimes favorite enemy just played their part to perfection, so we should expect that to compel the majority of Iranians to rally behind their government in the face of a brutal foreign invasion by not one but BOTH of their standard-bearer arch-nemeses.

#224Did I miss the part where Congress declared war or is that passe?
It's not a war, it's a limited engagement or whatever.

#225Is there an end to this?
The US actually ends Iran's nuclear program, they quit trying and obey ... because we bombed them?
Most of the recent middle east history doesn't seem to ever end as much as just go through a continuous cycle of violence creating more of what the folks condoning violence claim they're preventing.

#226Seriously, what is the benefit to the US here? I can't understand how this benefits the country at all.
If Iran has nukes, then a nuke race will start in the middle East, especially with Saudis, who will want their own nukes.
Iran getting nukes is the spark that will start a lot of chain reactions.
And islamic populations are radicalized enough that the possibility of a nuke on Israel increases dramatically.

Propaganda isn't everything. Iran having a nuclear bomb or not having one does count for more than whether we played our part in the bad guy in their narrative.

Even Vietnam wasn't formally declared as a war. Last formal declaration was WWII.

Just yesterday I was wondering when the last time was that the Middle East had a period of peace. I know it hasn't been in my lifetime.

fwiw they do seem to have wiped out a bunch of opponents recently, some weakened to the point of giving up, others wiped out entirely. ever since the so-called "arab spring" the trend has been pretty steady.
