Day 2? No, maybe Year 4. Workers at the oil- and gas-exporting ports would be warned to get out and then the unmanned missiles would destroy the infrastructure. No boots on the ground. Rinse and repeat as necessary. The cost would be borne entirely by the Islamic terrorists running Iran and their proxies around the world.

The only price paid by the West would be a temporary increase in oil and gas prices until the US and Canada regained the energy self-sufficiency and energy export levels they had under president Donald Trump, and destroyed by 4 years of the Biden-Harris idiocracy.

Define temporary? Have you done the math on how much and for how long prices will skyrocket, shipping is shut down due to fuel shortages, bringing the world financial system to its knees? How will the common person afford goods? This is social and political suicide. Not to mention the *fact* that war will ensue, with the biggest powers coming to iran’s side.

All I can say, Benjamin, is please read and learn the consequences of Neville Chamberlain’s “Peace in our time” treaty with Adolf Hitler to understand that negotiating with Jew-hating socialists will again deliver 45 million dead including 6 million Jews as in WW2. And I repeat, if Biden-Harris had not wrecked North America’s energy self-sufficiency, neutralizing the Iranian global terrorists would have been achieved without any of the hyperbolic consequences that frighten you so, and even with Biden on his knees to energy dictators, the transient price hike will pass with manageable consequence.
