To any who observe US foreign policy, it appears to be a fait accompli that the US will be at war with Iran fairly soon. By its own admission, the US has been engaged in a "maximum pressure campaign" to effect regime change in Iran. This isn't the first sanctions campaign against Iran, although it is the most comprehensive, and Iran has shown no signs of yielding to the pressure. The secondary aim of this pressure campaign has been to bait Iran into war. Although this isn't admitted outright, a sanctions campaign was used by FDR to bait Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor. Thus far, Iran has resisted attacking US troops or allies in the region, although it has shown itself capable of long-range precision strikes, and its numerous proxies (over 100 of them) are broadly dispersed in and near areas where US forces operate.
The question here is: what happens next? Can Iran withstand the campaign? Will the US or it's allies go the Gulf of Tonkin route and kick off the war with a false flag? Will Iran and it's proxies attack the US in Iraq or Syria? Will it's proxies retaliate by attacking Israel or the US homeland? Speculate and discuss.
Archives and news links are omitted here as the breadth of the war campaign obviously includes propaganda as well.
OP here on my phone. I had to give up the family computer. Iran has been on the list of "bad countries " since they overthrew the Shah in 1979. Probably because all other efforts at effecting the political situation in Iran have failed.

Highly unlikely given Iran's close relations with both Russia and China. If the United States demonstrates clear intention to go to war with Iran then either Russia or China will probably draw up a quick satrap-sorry, "alliance" - agreement and force Iran to sign it.
What's more likely is an escalation of intervention in Syria or reinvestment in Iraq and Afghanistan.
(((who))) indeed. Actually, the most likely culprit in this particular scenario would probably be Saudi Arabia. Israel has had a long history of problems with Iran albeit nowhere near the degree of rivalry between the US's "Arab Allies" and Iran.
By and large, Israel has satisfied it's border situation. If someone is going to get rogered for the happy merchants, it's going to be Assad.

Israel for taking out the biggest threat to its regional hegemony Glow-in-the-darks as revenge for muh geopolitics circa half a century ago Bankers and oil companies for the investment opportunities the war creates (war debt and opened markets) the Military Industrial Complex for the chance to sell the United States (and the rest of the world) more weapons it doesn't need Trump through the Jewish campaign donations and (initially) favorable coverage in the press he'll receive The Media for creating something to report on for slow news days The useful idiots on the Left for giving them an opportunity to LARP like it's Vietnam
The short version is that a US invasion of Iran will be Afghanistan 2.0, with Korea level casualties as long as the Iranian state holds out and Vietnam-tier for what little time the occupation lasts. Also, the Mideast will literally explode in civil wars and insurgencies because a Likudnik crusade against Iran will ignite the long-awaited, barely suppressed Sunni-Shia war which turned genocidal in Iraq after the rise of ISIS and is liable to erupt along the length of the Persian Gulf (eastern Saudi and Bahrain in particular) even without Iranian interference.
Lurk more. If you spent more than five minutes here, you'd know Jews are an ethnic group first, iconoclasts second, rent-seekers third, and a religion last.
