      I fear in this case it’s taboo to talk about it because realistically, what can they really do to fight back?

        Iran absolutely has a right to defend itself from the Imperial powers and their warmongering.

        But, will the US get involved so that it can finally attack Iran like they’ve wanted to for years? I mean, Israel initiated and Iran fired missiles back as a response and western media predictably wrote about it as if Iran attacked Israel.

        Probably their best bet is a military alliance as a deterrent, but we all know the US doesn’t back down from any opportunity to kill, dismember, steal, and colonize, no matter the cost.
