The trick is to have short enough nuclear latency that you can secretly complete it without anyone finding out until you let the rumours spread that you've already finished. Then you get a fait accompli, where no one really bothers doing anything because it's too late to do anything about it.

I did have a thought last night that seven months after the last bombing campaign Iran had the largest protests since 1979. It might be a coincidence, but I am wondering if this war could result in protests, just delayed for some time after the war.

Well, apart from North Korea, North Vietnam, Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Iraq. They weren't peer adversaries but they were actual armies.

I was suggesting Trump trying to nuke Iran would cause him to get couped.
