US nuclear strike on Iran risks catastrophe for America

A US nuclear strike on Iran could have catastrophic consequences for the United States, according to a Russian military analysis. The report warns of severe reputational damage and regional escalation. The analysis suggests Iran would heavily defend its nuclear sites, potentially shooting down a B-2 Spirit bomber carrying a nuclear weapon. Such an event would damage the US military's reputation, while also triggering a sharp escalation in Middle East conflicts and a new "fuel war." Iran's Defense Minister Mehrdad Ahlaghi warned Washington on November 1 of a "proportionate, decisive and effective response" to new attacks. Journalist Tucker Carlson claimed the Trump administration, pressured by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, could soon strike Mount Picax, which shelters an Iranian nuclear facility under 100 meters of basalt.
