At the same time they have surrogates located at numerous sensitive areas around the world and they would then have a good excuse to turn them loose. Not to mention closing off the strait choking off over 25% of the world's oil supply It would be a long protracted and very costly war in manpower and treasure.  What accelerated our departure from Afghanistan and Iraq? We were in a recession and running out of money. A war with Iran would require the largest commitment of allied forces since WWII but could still be death  by a thousand cuts similar to what we experienced in Vietnam.</p></blockquote><p></p>
