For the same reason we're not.

We're not? We're the ones sending their Navy and any ship that looks Minelaying-capable to the bottom of the sea. Plus our ships are being used as missile/drone defense radar and SAM sites.

They correctly intuit that the U.S. and Israel caused this situation by choosing to make war on Iran without having a plan in place to prevent them from disrupting global energy supplies.

That's hardly the correct intuit. Do you honestly think the Navy hasn't gamed out this out for the past several decades?

If you do, then I suggest you research one Marine Lt. General Paul Van Riper and his contributions.

It's both. Last time, we blew up nearly everything that could be blown up by bombers and missiles. And blowing things up with bombers and missiles isn't enough to prevent them from developing a nuke in the future, because Iran still can (eventually) dig up the fissile material and has the ability to redevelop the centrifuges.

Those centrifuges - the ones not buried under tons 'o rubble - are likely unrepairable. It's kinda hard to rebalance something that needs to spin at 100,000rpm after it's been broken.

And how do you know that we blew everything up in only 12 days?

The fact that you can identify moments in history when an attack should have been made but wasn't does not mean that the war that we chose to launch in February can achieve its goals or was the smart thing to do.

And it's not intended to. What it *is* intended to do is prove the point that doing nothing is in itself a choice and that choice can have dire consequences down the road.

1poorguy has it 100% correct: What matters is where we go from here because the good ship Navel-gazing about Not Doing Something set sail a while ago.
