If it were only to be as bad as Vietnam we’ll be lucky. Indeed you’re correct that the media seems to be absolutely useless in terms of accurate analysis (as they are in Venezuela as well). Yet with the ability to severely disrupt world oil supply, a war with Iran will not be as easy as Iraq or Vietnam. Just thinking about the destabilization of the area (and Europe again) gives me the chills. I do wonder where other powers will do to something this blatant (more so than anything else so far). Will they kowtow to the Empire or decide enough is enough? Time will tell.
