US will overthrow Iranian regime once socio-economic situation are ripe by sanctions.

The sanctions dont overthrow your govt, they just make it diseased and weak enough to be run over militarily.Many are vulnerable to that.

Good, sanction the whole world including your allies Canada, Europe and Japan and let China take over the global trade. Thank you.

China is already the world biggest trading nation, shipping nation, manufacturing nation and industrial nation, I don't see much of the US role in the global trade other than providing US dollars, let 's trade in other currencies and problems solved.

True, but Iraq does not border Russia like Iran does. Iran is getting weapons in massive quantities from Russia if the US tries to overthrown Iran.

You are thinking the Soviet Union. And thinking in terms of Gorbachev. Putin would not oppose Washington. Putin is not arming Iran right now. During a war, Putin would send arms to India or someplace like that, not Iran.

US still has the technology creation edge, which Chinese govt actively and proactively steals and tries to steal. I'm not a China hater, just pointing out harsh realities.

Back to topic now- The problem why US cant overthrow Iranian system(which they would start today if conditions were "ripe")is primarily because there isnt enough Iranian public resentment against the ruling system in Iran. Iranians are facing hardship, but they dont seem to be equate hardship with getting rid of their govt,which i think is more of a western democratic way. Iranian govt understands middle east mindsets better than US govt.

The US may overthrow Iran, but not the Iran people, unless they want to massacre all 80 million Iranians. That is their only solution.

Maritime border is enough. Most weapons are shipped by cargo ships.
Russia grudgingly supplied S-300s after long time and lawsuit that was in motion. Russia and Iran are mostly friends of covenience, not friends. But Russia and China might supply Iran to give the US a bloody nose/not achieve war aims.

Iranian govt advocates military self reliance- that is evidence it knows World powers like Russia and China wont come to its aid in any considerable way.

As Braveheart once said. Sure, you get F-35. You get money. If you are friends of America. But where's your FREEDOM? I think Iranians hate Americans precisely because CIA overthrew Iran's first democratically elected government.

 
. .
I think Iranians would forgive America if the US president apologizes for overthrowing Iran's first democratically elected government. However, knowing the hubris of Yankees, this not gonna happen.

it is reall
the sanctions didn't overthrow saddam, but they laid the groundwork for the pursuant invasion that did overthrow saddam.

Really up to the Iranian people. Hard to predict how they would react.

In 2009 there where no sanctions still they went to the streets

They have a lot more than that to apologise for.

most iranians blame the US sanctions for the problems, which is clear and logical because the explicit stated objective of the sanctions is to harm iranians. sure corruption and mismanagement makes the problem much worse, but the sanctions are explicitly designed to harm iranians and we are not stupid.

2009 was about perceived election fraud and ahmadinejad, not really about sanctions

You cant steal steal any technology without organizing a division of PHDs, giving sound leadership and making smart investment.

And who else is not stealing? Google/facebook and their technologies have their origins in college research labs or DARPA, funded by tax payers. Then these startup kids pretend they invented everything and private properties are sacrosanct.

If overthrowing governments was an olympic sport. The Americans would have won all the gold medals.
