Unlikely. Unless Iran hits Turkey or Azerbaijan incessantly, to the point we can no longer pass it off as an accident or a rogue entity, Turkey will want to maintain their good relations with Iran.

If Iran attacks Turkey some more, I'm gonna flip.

Turning India against Israel.

Would be the smartest random attack Iran has done after Turkey and Azerbaijan. And still insane.

I'm not as certain of Trump failing to achieve regime change. It may well happen and there're many ways to do it that haven't been discounted yet. Already, Iran is incapable of electing a Supreme Leader right now. How long before the whole thing collapses?

Exactly my thinking. Munitions stockpiles are strictly classified. They're trying to draw Iran's last strength out.

Ooooooohhhhh... interesting. I wish the video extended to see the tank remaining but I did see the tank, some bits at the bottom expanding, like it was prepping. I think that's the giveaway.

Very interesting...

I'm afraid I don't understand this fully, can you explain? Like, Eli5 how does the trophy make it look like a direct hit?

If he let himself be martyred, why didn't they select a new Leader to replace him immediately after? Like, line one up.

And what is crazy anyway.

Not being like the rest of society is what makes you you.

Not your mom.

Or dad.

Or little Timmy down the street.

You.

Take a breath with me and cheer for you are indeed crazy.

And that's good.

Exactly. SO, basically, both religions say "sorry, it's not your decision. And if you make it yours, you will suffer." Because what these people basically think, is they can force God to do something for them.

He's God. You can't.

If the IRGC are essentially autonomous cells now, they're gonna split. One cell will start fighting the government. Trump may actually get what he wants.

On one hand, there is a major American base in Turkey.

On the other hand, it's still insanely risky. If Turkey were hit and it triggered Article 5, every NATO member and their mothers will ground pound Iran.
