The deputy commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards has said that the US fleet in the Gulf is already within striking distance of his country’s short range missiles, adding that the US could not sustain a new war in the region.
“Even our short-range missiles can easily reach (US) warships in the Gulf,” Mohammad Saleh Jokar, the IRGC’s deputy for parliamentary affairs, was quoted by the Fars news agency as saying Friday. Jokar added that the US would be unable to sustain a conflict with Iran on account of financial, personnel and social reasons.
It marks the latest escalation in a war of words between the two countries as tensions mount amid renewed sanctions and political pressure from the US, along with a build-up of US forces in the region.
It would be nice if this war keep as words war and remain in that state until the conflict is gone. We don't afford to lost innocent life again or destroy a beautiful country.
Thinking that would be a bad idea.

that "bad idea" is what saved them from a similar iraq/syria/yemen scenario for almost 2 decades now.
it is a deterrent, which will be used if they are struck first.
Their problem is they will be struck by a 3rd party. Then it will be left up to the 2 standing there with guns to finish it.
Wars are seldom started by the parties that end up fighting
