"Invade Iran" is chickenhawk BS. Yes, Iran shouldn't have a nuke, but only the most extreme and insane advocated for invading Iran. It would take more troops than are available. It would take months at minimum to complete. And there was no support for it in the US and elsewhere. I fail to see how people advocating for invading Iran are considered the "rational" actors.
