Iran is the Shea Homeland. There will be no peace in the region and it will be centuries before the killing stops.
You know how Nasrallah came to power? No? He succeeded a cleric by the name of Abbas al Moussawi. Do you know how Moussawi died? The Israeli Defense Forces killed him.
The Iran that we know today was established by the oppressed people of Iran by following the leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini (click here). The late Shah of Iran did not take care of the Iranian people. They were destitute and lived from day to day, nearly starving and in some cases succumbed to starvation. The Shah was fine. He enjoyed plenty of Western food flown in on jets from Europe.
The Shia are a minority people and religion in the Middle East. Because of a variety of reasons the Shia lives mostly outside of Iran as a diaspora. That is also true of Israel.
What is occurring today with Trump is a blind ambition to start a significant war for land. Land for Israel. What is also occurring today is the confrontation of ideologies between the Sunnis and Shias. That spells complete disaster. It is an outline of a region of the world that will face their histories and decide dying for the Homeland, including their ideologies will be the final task of every man, woman and child.
When it comes to the Sunnis, a stable leader can be found in the President and ruler of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed. Saudi Arabia's Prince Mohammad bin Salman is a complete disaster of a leader. He has absolutely no realization or education of war to make good decisions. He is mentored by men like Trump to continue to throw weapons at Yemen when it begets him nothing but more violence in return.
Across the Middle East there are microwars compared to what Trump and Netanyahu has planned. Those smaller wars are a good insight to the success of a greater war. It won't be successful, it will be continuous and provide a reason for ideological killings for hundreds of years. Syria is locked into a war no one can win and so is Yemen. We know what the Middle East will look like with chronic wars in realizing the failed state of Somalia.
There is no reason to guess. There are clear indications of what any war effort will get. The USA's military are lined with very capable warriors. There is no doubt about that. But, if the USA enters into a war in the Middle East it will be confronted by Russia. Russian mercenaries were already attempting to kill Americans.
There is another aspect to this and that is Russia. Russia wants the USA defeated. Russia, no different than Iran have struggling economies. Russia is a communist country, burned by the collapse of the Soviet Union with leadership dedicated to recreating the Soviet Union and while it is not interested in a holy war, it is interested in an ideological one.
Today, the impetus for Russia to continue to build offenses against the USA is a one way street. Putin is a brinkman, but, after having the complete confidence of the Russian people for so long, his vision is the only one that matters. He will like to see the end of the USA before his own death.
A major driver to Putin is the USA invasion into Iraq and the instability that it created manifesting in a monster called Daesh. Communists, including China, are interested in stable states that can be controlled. They are not interested in fluid democracies of freedom as they see that as a weakness in government which allows for uncertainty in the future. In some ways, communism was created for Wall Street.
The trajectory of the leadership in the White House is one that will result in deaths for a long time. It will result in war that will rob Americans of their futures with ever increasing "debt of war" to the national treasury. With the spending of this administration, additional warfare may make Putin's dream come true.
A USA involvement in a war in the Middle East is not an acceptable option. There is no future for the USA in such a war. Most importantly, it will compromise the stability of this democracy, imperil a free democracy, collapse Wall Street and cast allies of both oceans into insecurity, both economically, hence militarily. What does Russia care, it is already there.
I have always like Nasrallah as a human being and a leader. He actually cares about people and now he is in leadership. Hezbollah is a problem and it is a growing problem in the Western Hemisphere, but, it is not a Russia or a China and is a non-state actor. If a war in the Middle East erupts it will give small regimes like that of Hezbollah a larger chance to advance their superiority, do different than the war to end Daesh.
A lot of what is transpiring today in the Middle East is in reaction to the destruction of Daesh. There are flame throwers everywhere in the people that live there and carry ideologies too far. The events in the Gulf of Oman were staged to inflame the tensions that already exist and INVITE a Hot Head President of the USA into the developing lake of fire.
DO NOT DO THIS.
Nasrallah is correct and I have never known him to be wrong. Escalating to a war will damn all the people involved to a hell that never ends.
Trump started this. He withdrew from a long fought for international agreement. Today, the tensions that exist are his making and he has nurtured it with every word he speaks.
A war with Iran is not to be fought. There are many reasons for that. It is time to have the leadership of all the ideologies, including the Hot Heads of Trump, to end this insanity and return to a place where peace manages tensions in the Middle East.

Hassan Nasrallah, (click here) leader of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, warned on Friday that if a war broke out against Iran, the whole Middle East region would "erupt".
US President Donald "Trump, his administration, and his intelligence know well that any war on Iran will not remain confined to Iran's borders", Nasrallah said in a televised speech in honor of the Iranian Al-Quds Day.
"Any war on Iran will mean the whole region will erupt, and any American forces and American interests will be permissible" as a target, he warned.
Nasrallah also denounced the US peace plan to solve the Israeli-Palestinian Arab conflict, describing it as a "historic crime".
"Our duty is to confront the 'Deal of the Century,'" said Nasrallah, using the name which has been given to the Trump administration’s peace plan.
"It's a void deal... a historic crime," he added....
