Exactly. 39 days (so far) of bombing will only convince Iran and other countries around the world of why they need to obtain nuclear weapons at any cost. It is existential.

This current US administration is incredibly shortsighted.

Being shortsighted implies you aren’t looking that far ahead.

Even the shortsighted could see that the straits would get closed.

Or other countries will see what happens when you try and get nukes and decide they want no part in it.

And i dont just mean the war, some estimates say iran has spent 2 trillion dollars trying to get nukes. If they spent that on conventional defense they wouldnt have been invaded.
