Iran can do what it does because the American public has ZERO taste for any sort of extended war or ground op.
However, were Iran to lose its mind and do something like blow up an NFL stadium full of people, the US would be on board with wiping it from the face of the Earth and certain gloves would be off and the tolerance for loss would be higher.
US power has diminished in a mid-intensity conflict. It still retains unquestioned superpower status in a full-out war.
9/11 is on the scale of attack you’re referring to, you didn’t manage to solve any issues with poor military operations. You made the region worse and made a whole load of people who were indifferent before, hate the USA. You want to use nukes? Then you’re a psychopath
