Has Iran ever done anything besides uttering empty threads? I mean what are they gonna do here, invade the US? Considering the past decade it kinda feels even North Korea is a bigger threat than Iran.

They have actually they've seized oil tankers and blocked trade I remember they seized a UK military ship years back they can cause serious problems for US trade partners hurting relations between international allies, considering they've recently done joint military drills with Russia and China they are a far bigger problem than NK.

Sounds pretty mild to me compared to the WW3 talking point floating around everywhere. And it extends the question to if Russia and China have done anything meaningful since the end of the Cold War. The US is constantly calling Russia the enemy and they're in an active trade war with China, so they're obviously not concerned with any major retaliation. Same with Iran. All I'm seeing is big words and chain rustling.

I've heard so many big promises of retaliation that never came, I'm WW3 fatigued at this point.
