Are you claiming Iran has the logistics and capability to constantly deliver drone attacks against the US homeland persistently? Or were you thinking of more like a one time flurry of drones? I mean, even if Mexico joined the war and Iran managed to provide them with unlimited drones, what changes? US border cities will be affected and there will be civlian casualties. Do you know why Ukraine is avoiding attacking civilian targets when Russia is doing just that? Because that is the exact opposite of their objective! Read what i said again, even with Russia, the one thing that can defeat them the most is loss of political will, just like with the US. If Iran attacks even one civilian US target, that's the ammunition Trump needs to keep fighting, and to get his war fund approved all he wants. Why would Iran want that? If you said Ramestien (within their reach), that would be more reasonable, but even then, that draws in NATO. Ukraine is attacking Russian soldiers and military targets by drones, Iran doesn't have much US military targets other than the ones that are specifically there to engage with it as part of the conflict. If a serious enough attack on US soil took place, that is the exact worst scenario where the circus in the whitehouse will be talking about nukes (and that's why I suppose the WHO is preparing for a nuclear disaster).

> Or were you thinking of more like a one time flurry of drones? No continuously, but enough to do serious damage to important assets. Not sure if they'd go for civilian assets, new leader is supposedly more extreme than the previous (funny how that's often the case), but so far their responses seems measured. But if they could take out a bunch of B-52s and whatnot sitting parked in the open, like that drone scare last year... If they did want to go after civilians, they could however easily do a 9/11 level of attack against airlines or similar targets that are not prepared. This is, as you allude to, likely not a good move for Iran. However, Israel said they'd prefer a failed state over the current regime, and in that case I could see some fanatics thinking that's a play to make, not unlike 9/11. So if Israel continues without direct US support, and the regime falls...
