The consequences of eliminating or at least laying waste to these enrichment sites are manifold and do several things. Beyond the obvious of nullifying the regime, it renders the mullahs powerless and impotent, it places them in a weakened position back to the negotiating table with demands curtailed, shows China (who's definitely watching closely) who's got the superior/sophisticated firepower and is willing to use it in defense of a pre-emptive attack on Taiwan, and unburdens the Iranian people 90% of which hate this regime but can't get rid of them. I've room mated with brothers from Iran and they can't stand these out of control mullahs.

The crown prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi (heir to the late Mohammad Reza Shah), has made an appeal to directly deal with the Iranian people instead of the mullahs at the table so they're definitely waiting in the wings.

@PatKirby I know a few Iranians and they’re wonderful people. It would be fantastic to see Iranians rise up during the chaos and regain control from the fanatical maniacs. Caution to Trump, whatever W did in Iraq, do the opposite.

@carpediem

What I recall most is the excellent and healthy food, friendship, laidback, down to earth living, honor and respect. Yeah these are good people, it's the theocratic mullahs that have tightened their super strict philosophy that's strangling them. So yeah they've been pretty upset for a long time.

@YoMomma

Sounds like yes, but not the regular people just the regime only.

@PatKirby i'm just waiting to see what happens..

@soar2newhighs the real question is if they had the capability, would they be stupid enough to try? When it comes to nuclear strikes, hesitation & de-escalation evaporates pretty quickly, especially in Israel's case (they simply can't afford to wait until one hits, then decide how to respond)

Saudi Arabia/UAE probably aren't too keen on nukes flying over/near their territory either...
