sorry, i understand what you're trying to say, but it just isn't possible to annihilate an entire country. Even with multiple nuclear attacks, which would utterly destroy whatever reputation the states has left, it still would leave millions of pissed off moderate iranians who would never forget.
and lets create a hypothetical situation. lets say you're iranian, and you know for a fact any sort of confrontation with any of the very angry world powers directly would result in 'game over'
what would you do? would you develop a military that would meet anything punch for punch? or would you develop a military that would cause as much damage and heartache in as little time/cost as possible, while maintaining 'reputation' by not using anything non-conventional?
