First of all I agree with you Iran must have nuclear weapons to guarantee its security. The US 'CAN' be defeated easily (not that it can't, there are many ways. All you need to do is keep your mind one step ahead of the US). It's been 20 years since the US had simulated the 2002 Millennium Challenge ( MC02 ) and the US had not dared to go to war with Iran. The US military has been harassed by Iran too many times and the US has not dared to attack Iran. Soleimani's death was caused by US fear and not the other way around (US with a big mouth Trump has not dared to respond to Iran's ballistic missile attacks). War is not as easy as we say, there are many considerations to think about. Thousands of Iranian ballistic missiles are certainly one that makes the US not dare to attack Iran. In addition to BM, the US is also considering the position of Israel which has been surrounded by Iranian proxies in many directions and is also related to the strategic location of the Persian Gulf. But today what keeps the US from attacking Iran is because the US knows Iran can now strike the US mainland with cheap ICBM missiles (can't you see the signs? Big solid rocket engines, advanced centrifuges and deep underground passages that can holds as many things as you can imagine). And most importantly, the longer the US realizes that it doesn't know anything about Iran's true military might.I believe you misunderstood me. I do not have a problem with the political decision to not respond directly to the US provocation. If anything, I appreciate it. It was a wise decision.
No sane person in the Iranian establishment should wish for a direct conflict with the world's most powerful military power.
But that wasn't my point. My point is that you should never be too confident and take the status quo for granted. It was Khamenei's overconfidence that provoked Trump to assassinate Gen. Soeleimani in Iraq. Trump, being the careless simpleton he is, called out Khamenei's bluff and taught him a historic lesson. Just a few days before Soleimani's assassination, Khamenei claimed that Iran could do anything he wanted in the region and the US could not do a damn thing about it.But oh man, was he wrong! It didn't take the US even 3 days to wait before they assassinated Iran's most important general and took full responsibility for it.
The problem is that I am completely enraged by the level of wishful thinking and naivety that some people are showing here, thinking that a few thousand ballistic missiles can guarantee our national security against the ever-growing threats of the US and her Western/Semitic allies. Right now the US is busy with Russia's growing ambitions and the emerging superpower status of China. That's why we've been left unbothered for a while. Nothing short of mega-tonne nukes would guarantee the national security of Iran at the face of our current situation in the region. Anyone who claims otherwise is either grossly misinformed or a traitor.
