i think iran will play the long game - it won’t attack directly and not from iranian soil. it has the upper hand and what it does will be measured and decisive.

Well I don’t know if I am but like you I hope so too. What I do know is that If i were advising Iran, i would be advising that they have the upper hand and any form of retaliation should be measured that sends a warning without escalating that carries with it “anytime we want too we can destroy you, but we won’t not yet anyway”.

Look up the "invade the Netherlands Act" if you want to know how little the United States and its catamites care about law.

True enough, but the Act passed anyway, just in case, I guess.

"Through its secret army, the CIA, the US has used proxy wars to destabilise governments it claims are threats to US security and freedom – threats often perceived as justifications to enact hegemony without direct military engagement."

I agree That's the history of the U.S., including the 1953 coup d'etat in Iran of Mosaddegh with the help of the British and the 1973 overthrow of Allende in Chile.

Both were CIA-led operations to destabalize the governments then in power. Mosaddegh was anti-imperalist and about to nationalize the oil industry in Iran and Allende was a socialist with marxist leanings in Chile Both were threats to U.S. economic hegemony and its capitalist ways. Both were replaced with people amenable to America and its foreign policy.

Economic interests chiefly explain American foreign policy and the use of covert operatives and also its military. It was true then; it remains true now.

I think it's amusing watching these countries who have waged war on nations which have nothing to do with them, are now running around getting ready for Iran to do its thing. Let them wait Iran.

There is no credibility to maintain, I wish I never grew up believing they would save us (my heart would have been spared so much more disappointment right now)
