How in the actual frick can that ever happen, unless of course the govt eventually does fall?

I didn't know Cuba has a ton of oil like Iran does to buy drones and missiles.

Cuba has no cards. Iran has many cards, mainly economic.

How many Americans have they killed in the last 50 years?

Yeah there is no comparison between the two.

You mean have all your leaders killed and your navy sunk. Sure Jan. Great playbook. I'm sure the dead leaders are celebrating their "victory".

With Cuba, I’ve always figured nowadays we could overturn it with a bunch of regular people invading with container ships full of TVs, new cars, and plans for a few dozen Walmarts and fast food joints.

The playbook has been out since Vietnam.
The U.S. will never go full tilt into the war, they’ll fiddle frick around for a while, their nuts will shrivel the moment something gets a little hard, and they’ll weakly abandon the mission at that moment.

That would prompt a full scale invasion.

If the distance between Cuba and Mexico/Florida shrinks by about 80 miles and Cuba transports to the other side of the world so as not to be less than 100 miles away from mainland America, yes, Iran showed Cuba exactly what to do.

Cuba needs to hurry up and grow some mountains and deserts

No, that is not the question. Iran is weakened and this is not debatable.
No, that argument cannot be made at all. At least not in the way I believe you mean it when you say they can come out "stronger".
You can debate the merits of this war. But the outcome. Iran is much farther from a nuclear weapon than they have been in a very long time.
When all is said and done, my personal opinion is that we will have clearly won the war (I think we've already done so), but to use an analogy, it'll be highly debatable on whether we "covered the spread" or whether it was "worth it".
Some people (not necessarily you) believe "winning" means regime change and completely ending all nuclear ambitions for Iran, and for some it means major destruction to their country and keeping them pinned down for eternity. I do not believe Trump wants to destroy them or pin them down for all eternity. I don't think he cares if regime change occurs.
I think he simply wants them to start "playing nice" with the rest of the world and being a peaceful and productive country regardless of who is in charge. If achieving that means taking the political "hit" for not achieving all the stated goals (which were poorly communicated) then so be it.

You win the Darwin Award! “ can’t fix stupid “

Unless I am mistaken the only leverage Iran had at all was the threat to supply of a global commodity called oil.
Exactly what do you think Cuba can affect?
Your post is about as fricking stupid as you can get. There is nothing remotely the same.

Cuba is obviously the next target. I know Cuba is no Iran. But they might be able to pull the same tactic as Iran by using drones and missiles (probably obtain from Russia and China) to shut down the exit of Gulf of America/Mexico which our oil flows through. That's their only chance. But I'm sure we will take them easily if we invade.
Playbook?
The only successful playbook in war is complete domination both militarily and economically of one nation over the other until one nation says No Mas!!!!!
The US hasn't had a NO MAS!!!! victory since the nuking of Japan.
