Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada!
Minus those thousands of airstrikes and total ability to end their civilization without even bothering to use nukes.

They know DAMN WELL we can't do that or they'd end oil in the Middle East.
They can take out the desalination plants that places like Saudi Arabia get 80% of their water from. No water, no workers, no oil. 3-5 years to rebuild minimum.
They can take out the refineries, pipelines, storage facilities, etc. Again, no oil. 3-5 years again to rebuild minimum.
They can keep the straight closed like they have.
They can keep hitting Tel Aviv at will and their missiles are getting through now.
If they did these things or just a combination of a few: Oil prices would shoot up to $200 a barrel and the US would hit a major depression.
Bombing bridges and power plants wouldn't stop ANY of this.
So no. Now they KNOW Trump understands this, we have ZERO NEGOTIATION POWER.
...of course, the Dementia Don may forget by morning...
I love the smell of human chains in the morning.
Smells like victory.
