3. Iran will be more incentivized than ever to procure or create nuclear weapons.

Or biological. The US has taught Iran that a whimsical madman can be blackmailed by Israel to attack them at any minute. Netanyahu in his hubris, has put a target on every Israeli's back. Iran will tighten up its intelligence leaks and strike without any notice sometime in the future (I would guess < 10 years) and it won't be just a handful of missiles. I say this without any satisfaction. It is the hard reality. Everyone of those ~168 little girls that were killed by a US tomahawk missile will be useful martyrs for the state. Americans of Iranian descent also get no satisfaction because the repressive regime will remain in place. Stupid billionaires that run the US mistakenly believe all relationships are transactional, and that Iran will eventually adopt a stance of compliance out of necessity or self preservation. Fuck every single party involved in this.
