That would be a disaster. Fast regime change? Remember "Mission Accomplished" in 2003. Meanwhile there are still US troops in Iraq 20 years later who are now target practice thanks to Trump.

This is a country of 90 million people, 4 times the size of Iraq and the only thing all factions agree on is they don't want to be western puppets ever again.

Trump just created the conditions for nearly ever faction in the country to turn on the US and the west.

Ideas that they will just fly in Palavi and install an absolute monarch nearly everyone in the country hates and that will solve everything is delusional.

Best case this ends in a stalemate and America goes home.

Worse case scenario is a civil war, and regional chaos for another 20 years.

This makes the Iraq war look like a smart move. This is next levels of stupid.

And bombing a country into collapse and civil war doesn't help anyone in Iran. That is liberal interventionist delusions.

Remember Libya? Yeah. The excuse was to liberal the Libyan people. Now it is two fiefdoms run by warlords with literal open air slave markets.

Before the war it had the highest standard of living in Africa.

It is also very orientialist colonial mentality that one of the oldest civilizations on earth needs a bunch of white dudes to rescue them.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow the Iranians are Persian. They are not usually Muslim. They were taken over by the Muslims. They definitely need help.
Livia, Iraq and Venezuela all got invaded because they wanted to stop using the petrodollar. totally different story.

Hope is all very well, but whether it will happen is another matter. The Iranian government has planned for its succession whether its "Supreme Leader" is killed or died naturally.
