#2 Possible but unlikely, as Iran needs time to dev + safely master its NucTechs - iff that means being "humble" + tolerating a US-NATO naval, etc. presence offshore, SO BE IT! Iran still has its various MilTerr Proxies whom can PDeniably act "autonomously" or "independently" from Tehran.

IMO what mattered to the Mullahs years ago was a formal US-Allied GROUND INVASION + OCCUPATION to stop thier NucProgs.
