Yes, "nothing" has a clear definition, but even taking your generous interpretation and discounting the Israeli dead and wounded, billions in economic and military costs etc...

Why would Trump be pressing so hard for a ceasefire if Iran cannot do anything? Seriously what's the downside to just letting Israel do whatever they want and fully destroy Iran or at a minimum topple the regime?

What’s the downside to destroying a country and their government?

Iraq

Libya

Syria

Lebanon

You break things they don’t repair easily

Also, fuck israel

I largely agree with you, but for the sake of discussion, what about the possibility that there is an assymetric aspect to this, like with the US vs Afghanistan/Vietnam where big wins are not necessary to atritte over time the financial or political resiliency of Israel. As in, Iran can "afford" to get bombed, but Israel, as a developed integrated nation cannot afford it's airports, ports, economy shut down that long.

I’d love to see a blockade of israel and to have that parasitic country take some pain.

Unfortunately the US is controlled by them and any prolonged pain would simply mean the US sends them more money

Fuck israel
