And if you can do all that before Operation Epic Fury, you can do all that after Operation Epic Fury.


Sure. But not instantly, and that's the point. And maybe the plan is to run guns into Iran and give the people a fighting chance. Get the Kurds (who are occupying part of Iran) a safe zone. And since Iran now has no Air Force their ability to do anything about it is very limited.

We're simply pointing out that this particular operation doesn't eliminate the threat of anything Iran might do (or might have done) in the future in terms of weapons development.

Which carries a series of assumptions, the most notable being that the situation on the ground there never changes. But now that the Kurds are marching in there the situation *has* fundamentally changed on the ground. Let's see how it plays out.

Why is that headscratching? Because it means nobody really understands these people or their motives or pays attention to world events.

Even if libs don't believe that Iran would ever actually use a weapon, it's not disputable that they would want one. One needs only look at North Korea for the example why.

Do you want a North Korea equivalent sitting on the Straits of Hormuz - untouchable, and can hold the world hostage on a whim?
