Iran is not Iraq on many levels. Baathist Baghdad collapsed and Saddam Hussain disbanded the army went underground, but with limited support and US success in splitting the country along religious lines, it could not resist. The Iranian clerics still retain support as evidenced in anti-Israel/anti-US demonstrations inside the country. Regime change will not be easy unless they send in the Marines. If the US does that the MAGA gangs will split and Trump will get a shock in the mid-terms. The Dems are shifting. Clinton (Bill) and Obama have both come out against the attack on Iran. China and Russia and Pakistan have said they will help Teheran. Medvedev announced that Moscow might now help Iran develop nuclear weapons. This could all be talk but the US/EU/Israeli genocide in Gaza, the abandonment of international law and the total collapse of the UN, have led many states to shift away from the Western axis. Iran put its trust in the US. That has been bombed away. If the Iranian government carries on targeting installations and strategic buildings in Israel and the US bombs again and again, the situation could spiral out of control. Without supporting the clerical repression in the past and its foreign policy opportunism we have to defend Iran against the Wild West and its mercenaries. We did so in the case of Iraq, Libya, Yemen and Syria. The same goes for Iran.
