The words of the former US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, about Iran:
Iran is four times larger than the state of California. This country is three times bigger than Iraq. Its population is 90 million people.
The coastline along the Strait of Hormuz is very long.
The weapons that this country continues to produce are so technologically advanced and their range so great that they cannot all be completely destroyed.
To do this, it will probably be necessary to resort to a ground attack, which would be a complete disaster in itself.
