Bravo Zulu!If Trump and Netty can kill a tyranical leader, why couldn't Iran do the same to them? Not advocating for it at all, but sometimes you reap what you sew.
They've been trying...

And while you say "not advocating for it at all" I saw a post you made several days ago on the subject that made me cringe. I was going to reply to it but thought better of it (I wasn't trying to get on some watchlist) and apparently you did too, because it disappeared within minutes of you posting it. But here you are again.
Sometimes you reap what you sew but that just means you end up with a nice quilt or scarf. Most times, you reap what you sow.

10 days in, at a price tag of ~10 billion dollars, we have
-replaced a hard line Ayatollah with his even more hard line son
-created the worst oil crisis in decades, putting the world's economies in chaos
-still failed to state our objectives
-still failed to even give an outline of an exit strategy
-continually criticized our allies
-watched as Russia openily aids Iran with intelligence and targeting info
-Because of the oil crisis, eased sanctions on Russia so their oil is flowing
-apparently are responsible for killing a large number of schoolgirls
MAGA fans, is this looking like victory to you?

“We’re going to blow the Hell out of these people.”
Then he went on to talk about what the U.S. Military is doing in Iran.

We've opened the strait before when Iraq promised to close it. We'll do it again.
Iran closes waterway, gas prices soar. Who controls the Strait of Hormuz?

Iran closes waterway, gas prices soar. Who controls the Strait of Hormuz?
This analysis says it’s possible but requires considerable boots on the ground, almost certain high casualty numbers from urban guerillas and cooperation from an neighboring ally which might not be forthcoming. It also probably requires a few weeks preparation to bring a full contingent (which Iran will observe and thus beef up counter-defenses) or using currently available forces which would be far riskier.
Iran fought Iraq for eight years and sacrificed more than 1 million soldiers defending its homeland. It’s an ancient, intelligent, and proud civilization. Netanyahu and Trump may have sorely underestimated their adversary in this conflict. Time will tell, but Iran may inflict enough damage on Israel to provoke Israel to use its tactical nukes. So far, Iran appears to have planned for everything that has hit them so they may have plans for the tactical nukes. Meaning, they won’t surrender. They will possibly double down on hurting the world economy but the key question is, how will the world react to Israel using nukes?
