Suprises no one. I remember reading that the IRGC is quite a distributed organization, and has planned for the exact situation they find themselves in today.

Im guessing they have lots of stuff stashed away only known to each IRGC "section"

You really think the President of the United States would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

If their regular missiles are bad enough, just imagine them with nukes.

Did they fire their missiles before they were surprise-attacked by Trump?

IMHO they should have nukes as a deterrent and to balance Israel.

The amount of buffoonery on the US side is staggering.

1. Iran is always 2 weeks away from having nuclear missiles.

2. Iran's military capability is destroyed.

3. If Iran had nuclear warheads, it could successfully deploy them against the US.

4. If Iran had nuclear warheads and could deliver them, their leadership is so suicidal/stupid that it would trigger MAD.

Truly staggering buffoonery.

That sounds like Israel's problem. Iran doesn't possess a large enough missile to credibly nuke the US.

Also, the USRAEL regime keeps feigning diplomacy after committing multiple egregious acts of perfidy. On more than one occasion they started bombing during or at beginning of negotiations.
