Iranian leaders not just going to sit down and twiddle their thumbs...will there be more suicide attacks against Americans

Iranian leaders are not just going to sit down and twiddle their thumbs. This is a war that it has been preparing for over decades, a war it cannot avoid, ever since the war against Iraq in 1980, supported on the other side by the USA. The USA and Israel are the bitterest of enemies of the Iranians and will be so for eternity. How can this war ever be avoided?

Despite all the sanctions imposed for decades by the West against Iran, it has not collapsed. Just taking out its nuclear ambition is not going to do it as well. Even a regime change is fruitless and delusional. You cannot change a people deep in Islamic culture - surviving, breathing and willing to die for Islamic beliefs, just like what the USA tried to do in Iraq. Iraq was an example of a regime change that changes nothing. The West had tried to change the religious landscape of China and India in the past and failed miserably.

Some are arguing that this war harping over nuclear issues is more than meets the eye, with the USA using this excuse to punish Iran over nuclear deals, while its main objective was trying to cripple China by preventing the sale of sanctioned Iranian oil flowing to China. There is a growing trade relation between Iran and China, all done outside the US$ and helping to prop up the sanctioned Iranian economy.

Suffice to say, China is making all out efforts to be less dependent on energy from fossil fuel, with its emphasis on harnessing renewables. China is building a large number of nuclear power plants, besides dams, solar power generating fields, wind turbines and moving the country into electrification of its entire transport system. China still needs massive imports of energy - oil, coal and gas. It was a blessing in disguise that China has Russia in its backyard to take away some uncertainties in its energy needs.
