Iran knows it cannot defeat the US, much less NATO and hence fight their wars through proxies.
Meaning that somebody makes a war unprofitable. The Revolutinary War comes to mind, amongst many others in more recent history.
The U.S government still has to pay reparation money to the crown since the revolutionary war so i would say that was pretty profitable for the British

My prediction on this one, will be an attack on London at the olympics, followed by a potential attack on canada ( we aren't quite on board but it would drive the country to a bloodlust far surpassing WW1 and 2 and it will be #ing crazy.) thirdly the US or if they have the #ing balls china or Russia, just to throw a kink in their backing the intended targets. How ever I predict a MW2 type scenario playing out if that went down.
The olympics makes the most sense. It's on British soil, so it will get immediate support from the English, as well as many of the nations involved with the games. How better to set the world aflame? It's a really ballsy move how ever, and I don't know if a terrorist group would really dare try it. Too many enemies to be made.
