⚡USA won't strike Iran for the following reasons:

Iran is already a nuclear treshhold state, capable of producing several warheads with its stockpile of enriched uranium.

The Pentagon has never won a war simulation against Iran (Millennium Challenge 2002).

US assets, military bases and its 50,000 troops are sitting ducks in the region, as Iran has thousands of precision ballistic missiles.

The US knows that an all-out war against Iran will open up new fronts in Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, also known as Iran's ring of fire in the West.

The price of oil and gas could rise, which could devastate the European economy and the global economy.

Unlike the invasion of Iraq, none of the countries in the region will allow their soil to be used against Iran, which could result in the destruction of their infrastructure.
