Israel and Gaza I can see happening. Maybe. But I don’t see anything happening in Iran just yet. It’s a little heated and there’s been a lot of saber rattling but I still don’t see anything happening for another two years or so.

I could be wrong. And if anything does happen in Iran there won’t be anything close to an invasion. It will be limited to a deep penetration strike if you will of their nuclear facilities. A little beyond that perhaps their naval facilities. But no boots on the ground invasion in the foreseeable future.

And yet, it would take an invasion and occupation to attain the supposed goal of any sanctions or military strike, namely bring Iranian nuclear weapons production to a halt. Anything less would accomplish only two things: Slow development and kill pro-US sentiments amongst the population.
