But if all others undesirable indiscretions are ignored repeatedly bringing up murica did this and murica did that makes your point null and void .

Is that how it works. Not as if they can reach USA, I'm sure the ships in Persian Gulf are capable of protecting themselves .
Most likely in Syria or iraq where Iran have multiple militias embedded in both countries

This is trump's rocket Man policy , I think he was quite clever doing what he did ,the ball is firmly in Iran's court now, another tanker or American asset gets hit the consequences maybe alot bigger and the worlds leaders will have no choice to come out and say Iran was more than warned about their course of action and chose to push America too far

They would also have to deal with Israel which would probably be sending in their fighter planes at the same time as the US.
Remember they have been getting assistance from russian advisors and technology transfers to beat sanctions ,it's the same reason they will use the military to quell any protests in the country ,like most Arab states religious leaders and their military have more power than any elected government or civilian population
For the most part their military is lacking any real firepower yes they have russian and build under licence russian systems ,a few submarines and a very aging and lacking airforce ,still flying F4 phantoms and F5 light fighter's (sill very capable in the right hands)
Their navy is mostly fast patrol boats which could be difficult to deal with but easy enough to deal with when your a Carrier group , they also have their own fleet of drones with some weapon capabilities.
Could be an interesting fight

Seems Iran are seriously thinking of doing something they may seriously regret ,
"Iran Chose To Take Out Drone Instead of Manned Navy Jet, lranian General Says
Iran could have shot down a P-8 Poseidon surveillance aircraft and killed Americans Thursday, but chose instead to target an unmanned Navy RQ-4 Global Hawk drone in order to avoid the possibility of all-out war, an Iranian general said Friday.
The P-8 anti-submarine, anti-surface warfare aircraft "was also violating our airspace and we could have downed it too," said Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards aerospace force, according to Iran's Fars news agency.
Late Thursday, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif rejected U.S. charges that the Global Hawk was in international airspace over the Gulf, and said on Twitter that Iran had retrieved parts of the downed drone in Iranian territorial waters.
Iran's claims on having the Poseidon targeted and the downing of the Global Hawk raised the stakes on what the U.S. response would be to the escalating crisis in the Gulf.
In a series of tweets early Friday, President Donald Trump confirmed that he called off at the last-minute planned air strikes Thursday night on Iranian missile launch sites and radar installations believed to have been involved in targeting and downing the Global Hawk.
"We were cocked & loaded to retaliate last night on 3 different sights [sic] when I asked, how many will die. 150 people, sir, was the answer from a General. 10 minutes before the strike I stopped it, not proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone," Trump said.
"I am in no hurry" to attack Iran, although the U.S. military was "ready to go," Trump said in repeating his warning that the red line for the U.S. would be renewed Iranian efforts to acquire nuclear weapons.
"Sanctions are biting & more added last night. Iran can NEVER have Nuclear Weapons, not against the USA, and not against the WORLD!" Trump tweeted."

Cancelling the strike hes saved countless of lives including innocent American lives also. A war with Iran would be worse than the Vietnam war.
Not the really no .
America could hit the length and breadth of Iran without putting a single tank or infantry units on the ground ,
They don't need to invade and hold territory they just need to do enough to weaken the government and let Iranians do the rest ,the only thing keeping the Iranian forces in power is the total oppression of the people under the guise of the keeping the revolution alive ,
No revolution just middle East oppression

It was your beloved U.S that overthrew Irans democratically elected PM in the 50s in favour of some middle eastern oppression.
Again it's not my beloved anything .
Remind us all about what happened the last 2-3 times recently when people in Iran protested demanding change
Tanks and bullets were deployed against unarmed Iranian protester's ,
I'm pretty sure several posters some how blamed the CIA
