    Yes and no. Technically yes, but practically no. There has been a lot of unrest and the majority of the people are not willing to fight for this regime. So if Iran were to go all out against Israel or the US with the people and means they have, the popular protests would make it impossible to keep that going very quickly.

    It’s like the queen being pinned to the king in chess. You can’t move it because that would actually be worse.

      I didn’t say all out, I said unconventional. Facing the US military head on is just suicide with more steps. Iran has a lot more options.
