Any military intervention would be unlikely to succeed, Polityka agrees:
“Trump probably dreams of repeating the Caracas scenario in Tehran, a spectacular kidnapping of the bearded old man, the spiritual and actual head of the Iranian police theocracy. But Tehran is nothing like Caracas – too far away, too foreign, too hostile, probably much more of a challenge even for elite special forces. The Iranian capital is 500 kilometres from the nearest area accessible to Americans in Iraq, several hundred kilometres from the Persian Gulf and 1,500 kilometres from the Arabian Sea, where the aircraft carriers will be operating.”
