Yeah, like they attacked Syria, or Lebanon, or Tunis, or Iraq, or Libya.

So, are you a Trump-sympathizer, trying to justify your support for him by trying to find the silver lining from the acrid cloud of burning oil? Asking out of curiosity as to why you'd write this.

If only someone didn't rip up a deal a particular president with a Kenyan father did, Iran might've been more contained...

The timing is the dumbest. Either you attacked during the protest+insurection to try to divide Iran, or you waited for Komenei to die of his cancer and the election of another priest as the supreme leader. The guardians of the revolution part of the army would have been loyal to komenei's clan, so the choice would have been to let go the power or to start internal struggles.

Now they got to switch from a theocracy to an effective monarchy, for free.

[repost] Nonsense. There's no evidence whatsoever that Iran were planning to attack neighbouring countries nor is it in their interest. This is all Israel-fabricated bullshit which goes back about four decades.

Repost because of the clear strategic downvoting of my other comment.

I repeat: provide some evidence.
