Why US Can't Attack Iran Despite Threats: Unveiling the Hidden Reasons
- •Despite strong rhetoric, the US has not deployed significant military assets to the region, with troop numbers even decreasing.
- •Friendly Gulf nations like Saudi Arabia and UAE fear Iranian retaliation and are unwilling to host US attacks.
- •The US lacks major warships in the Middle East and would need permission from host countries for base access, which might be denied.
- •Iran still possesses approximately 2,000 heavy ballistic missiles, capable of evading defense systems if launched simultaneously.
- •An attack could unite the Iranian public behind their government, strengthening the current regime against foreign intervention.
Why It Matters: US faces significant military, logistical, and political hurdles preventing an attack on Iran despite threats.
