    Are you seriously asking, what downsides does a war have? The previous “war” wasnt “war” at least on usa’s side. A war in iran would mess with supply chains, tie usa forces and equipment to iran (which most likely costs pretty much) and im fairly certain they would be able to do at least some harm in middle east and probably by some terrorist attacks in usa also. But maybe im wrong and almighty usa would just be able to do whatever they want ?

      I don’t expect this “war” to be “war” either. Yes, the USA can do mostly as they please and nobody would dare to say anything.

        Usa strikes iran, iran strikes usa aircraft carriers, boats, military bases, whatever and actually kills some usa’s soldiers unlike their “retaliation” last time. I dont think they can just pull back and go home after that and thats why i think this time it would be war. Im not talking about anyone else saying usa could or couldn’t do something, what i meant was you think usa can just do anything and be successful? As in i think attacking Iran isn’t as simple as going to Venezuela

          And? Ok, USA loses 2 patrol ships and 30 soldiers. What next? It is war? Look at Ukrainian numbers to see what the war is.
          USA starts bombing Iran from distance. What is “isn’t as simple as going to Venezuela” here?

          I don’t see anything serious that Iran can do in this situation.
