#4 The West is under NATO, not US control. Most of the electrical power comes from Iran and trade is very active.

Other than a couple of big battles early last year???, there has been no activity in the West. I have "heard" that a number of Iranians were killed in those events but nothing anywhere near official.

#5 Sincere question, will a mine detonate if dropped from a plane?

If so I suggest the next predator load be "Returned" ordanance. (Return to sender, address unknown, IRAN will do.)
Better yet drop on Meccah, let's see them explain that.
