Why? USA and Iran don’t have any common borders, so the war is very easy to control: it will be running as long as the USA will be willing to bomb Iran. The quality of Iranian AA was demonstrated during the previous “war”.
Are you seriously asking, what downsides does a war have? The previous “war” wasnt “war” at least on usa’s side. A war in iran would mess with supply chains, tie usa forces and equipment to iran (which most likely costs pretty much) and im fairly certain they would be able to do at least some harm in middle east and probably by some terrorist attacks in usa also. But maybe im wrong and almighty usa would just be able to do whatever they want ?
Usa strikes iran, iran strikes usa aircraft carriers, boats, military bases, whatever and actually kills some usa’s soldiers unlike their “retaliation” last time. I dont think they can just pull back and go home after that and thats why i think this time it would be war. Im not talking about anyone else saying usa could or couldn’t do something, what i meant was you think usa can just do anything and be successful? As in i think attacking Iran isn’t as simple as going to Venezuela

And? Ok, USA loses 2 patrol ships and 30 soldiers. What next? It is war? Look at Ukrainian numbers to see what the war is.
USA starts bombing Iran from distance. What is “isn’t as simple as going to Venezuela” here?
I don’t see anything serious that Iran can do in this situation.
Iraq already did that in Kuwait and it accomplished nothing.
They even heavily armed the shore thinking the US would try a beach landing, and instead they were spammed with a barrage of missiles that stayed out of range of most of their batteries.
Iran would struggle to minefield the strait with the US navy just sitting on 24/7 standby.
Israel wants Iran’s current government to fall, the US just isn’t interested in doing a hard land campaign to accomplish it (yet).
They want it quick and easy like what Trump just did in Venezuela, but that’s just not possible with Iran, which is why they’re still open to negotiations despite Netanyahu showing up to the Whitehouse like its his own home.
The crux for the US is that trying to topple the regime via a military operation could easily backfire without a complete invasion. They’re trying to find a pressure point that will cause the government to fracture internally, but they probably don’t have any solid leads that could succeed, otherwise they would have done it during the protests.
Their own oil fields? I doubt that’ll harm the USA. Especially now when they own Venezuela.
Closing Hormuz will be an inconvenience to a large variety of countries and I am not sure if that is what is good for Iran.
Iranian abilities are very limited and none of them are actually military. The world will easily ignore a temporary oil price spike as those spikes happen every time some shit starts in that region.

What can Iran possibly do to harm the USA?

I don’t expect this “war” to be “war” either. Yes, the USA can do mostly as they please and nobody would dare to say anything.

Yes i can see that
Ok, we’ll see who sees better in a few weeks.
Is this some kind of a competition to you? :D
I have my reasons to hate Iran and I would be sincerely happy to see it burn.
Light the region’s oil fields on fire and mine the straight of hormuz.
