Also the US does not want war with Iran. They want to isolate the Iranians economically and politically. However, war would be an absolute nightmare. Not only would the war itself be on Vietnam levels of involvement, but Iran would spread the conflict all over the region to all of the US's allies.



War with Iran just isn't happening. If it did happen, it would have the potential to exceed the Vietnam war, making it the largest US war since WWII. On top of that Iran is a Russian ally, and Russia simply won't allow anyone to engage the Iranians directly on a large scale.
By US I was specific that is with the Whitehouse under Bolton and Trump. Do you think they care one iota about the consequences? Not at all.

To this day they have not condemned the Saudis one bit. Kushner is still saying they don't know who did it. Stupid.
