Reply to comment by chilu0222 in Ukraine Says Its Air Defenses Can't Protect Against Iranian Ballistic Missiles by BeautyInTheNegitive

The US can fight two wars at once. This has been our doctrine since Roosevelt. We can certainly supply Israel and Ukraine. If it breaks out Iran's weapons won't be hurting Ukraine any longer, and Iran's nuclear facilities can finally be reduced to rubble.

And...the people of Iran can throw out the mullahs.

Win win win

Can we fight China at the same time, too? A war in the Persian gulf would cut off oil and things around the world will begin to spiral out of control.

Iran doesn't have a navy to cut off shipping in the Persian gulf, so that shouldn't be an issue. Torpedo boats and mines may play a larger issue but we dealt with that before.

Sink one tanker with drones or bomb on a raft. Shippers and insurers will stop traffic.

The USA has other allies that produce oil. It will be a domestic issue but they would not run out because of it. Plus the potential for explosive profits due to war time issues would mean a lot of non-opec nations would be happy to ship whatever oil they don't need for a quick buck.
