      The US response to something like that would almost certainly result in a regime change in Iran, and the death or life imprisonment of its leaders.

      9/11 was committed mostly by Saudi nationals who were led by the (former) CIA asset Osama bin Laden. Iran had nothing to do with it. Neither did Iraq.

      Iran can’t hit and has no interest in hitting mainland US. Iran is opposed to US presence in the region as the US is an existential threat to Iran and Israel is an existential threat to most countries in a 2000 mile radius.

        Iran can’t hit

        They were - justifiedly - salty because Trump slap-chopped their hero-general-guy back in the first edition of the US Fuckening between 2016 and 2020. So they did try to whack Trump, but they were also betting on him losing the election because like the rest of the world, they also can’t fathom how absolutely fucking stupid the US voter is.

        They are a big drone producer, and I wonder if they can copy Ukraine and spiderweb the fuck out of AF1.

        Yeah that all tracks, I didn’t mean to imply they were involved in 9/11. But sympathetic terrorists may take the opportunity, is more what I meant.

      If they tried they would probably get microwaved off the face of the planet.

      There could be a counterattack on US soil, you are correct, but I would imagine it would be limited to a high population density area, which while that would effect more people than somewhere in the midwest, thankfully your chances of being attacked are pretty low unless you live in Los Angeles, Washington DC, or New York City, since it seems like Iranian militants (and everyone else outside the US, really) only know that those three cities exist. Oh, maybe the Pentagon, too. But like, anywhere else I would say is pretty unlikely to suffer from a counterattack.
