Because of the terrain/geography of Iran I don’t know you can roll right through it. I think your Tanks would be restricted by mountains and supply lines would get stretched out.

MOAB bombs or just bombing in general? Because I’ve seen this WWII bombing campaigns of nothing but plane after plane after plane dropping bombs on Berlin and London. Yikes

The punk arse Bush Jr. should have rolled right through Iran when we had the 4th ID on the border. It would have save so many lives that it isn't calculable.
Thats the easy answer, most would agree now.
But that was a different time and mentality.
Do you realize the coalition of Arab countries who joined us for DS? It was a political achievement. But they did it in the premise of UN sanctions and only to get Iraq out of Kuwait. Had we ignored that it would have destroyed all relationships with every Arab country. Same for Iraq 2. They broke the sanctions so we then went in and took SH out. Arab countries allowed it due to UN sanctions being broken.
Fast forward and its obvious Iran is hated by most countries over there. They are glad we’re doing it now. They seen Iran kick out the nuke inspections. They know Iran was responsible for most roadside bombs in Iraq among other atrocities. They don’t want a nuclear Iran.
Reminds me of Patton, wanted to take out Russia too.

Seems DJT wants a legacy and to put the Iranian Muslim regime away for a long time. So I’d imagine the biggest fireworks show soon.

Maybe both? Could use B-52s in desert or mountain facilities (can’t use in populated areas of course). Then big ole bombs in known or found underground/mountain facilities. And even in some areas close to cities.
Israel likely has some good intel on sites, along with us.
The whole operation has been surgical to this point. Take out immediate threats and ships. Take out many launchers. Infrastructure that can be vital to them. Comms and radars. Storage. Gain air superiority.
Next phase is big bombs and can do so more freely with phase 1 over. This admin has been brilliant in their military planning.

Here is the current situation in and around Iran.
I won’t go over the scale of the strikes on Iranian infrastructure — you can read about that yourselves. I will only note that Israeli and U.S. air forces fully control Iranian airspace, and in that sense the war increasingly resembles a shooting gallery. The main objective is the complete degradation of Iran’s defense capabilities.
Overnight, official IRGC channels circulated information about the cancellation of Khamenei’s fatwa banning nuclear weapons. This is being interpreted as a final act of blackmail that prompted the coalition to prepare strikes on underground facilities in Fordow. These are senseless statements that once again point to further fragmentation of operational command.
The deepest conflict in the past 40 years is reportedly unfolding between the regular army (Artesh) and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Let me note right away that verification is extremely difficult. However, signals are emerging (possibly as part of disinformation), so I am sharing them with you.
Local clashes in Tehran have been verified (in the government district and near the Vali-e Asr headquarters). Artesh units reportedly refused to transfer air defense reserves to the IRGC and declined to participate in suppressing street protests.
There are reports that the Artesh high command is distancing itself from what it calls “suicidal” IRGC orders to attack tankers and U.S. bases. The army is positioning itself as an “institution of national salvation” for a post-revolutionary period. According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Israeli strikes on IRGC headquarters (Thar-Allah) have significantly undermined the Guards’ ability to control the capital.
Following confirmation of the Rahbar’s death, protests flared up with renewed intensity in Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz. The slogans include direct calls for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic.
Mass transfers of political prisoners from Evin and Rajai Shahr prisons have been confirmed. They are reportedly being moved to strategic sites (Natanz and IRGC headquarters) to be used as “human shields.” This has forced the coalition to adjust the schedule of strikes in the city center.
Prince Reza Pahlavi has officially called on security forces to side with the people, stating that “the regime is living its final hours.”
Good news: thanks to the intervention of Mohsen Rezaei and pressure from China, the Strait of Hormuz has been reopened ahead of Monday’s trading session. This has eased panic in the oil market (Brent is trading at $78–80).
The UAE and Saudi Arabia have successfully repelled massive IRGC missile attacks (True Promise IV). The position of Arab capitals is clear — full neutralization of the Iranian threat. The fact that Ukraine is being mentioned as an important element in strengthening Gulf air defense is a positive sign. Zelensky’s timely statement on this works in our favor.
The United Kingdom, France, and Germany have expressed support for the Iranian people’s right to a democratic transition, which amounts to a diplomatic “green light” for coalition actions.
Moscow’s refusal to intervene on Tehran’s side has been heard in Beijing and Pyongyang as a signal of Russia’s weakness. Attempts by Moscow to contact Washington directly on this issue have reportedly failed.
Beijing is moving toward more direct management of the crisis (in the case of the Strait of Hormuz). Whether this is good or bad remains unclear, but it has calmed market turmoil.
To summarize: Tehran is experiencing a form of “dual power” between a paralyzed Transitional Council and a radical IRGC faction prepared for nuclear escalation. The next 48 hours will be decisive — either formalizing the regime’s capitulation or leading to further escalation, if it still has the means to escalate.

This is the exact same thing that happened this past summer. Israel and USA use the fast fighter jets to take leadership and targets in the beginning, then comes the grand finale.

If a senior Iranian official knows a bunch of bombs are coming, won’t he just surround himself with a pack of kids from the local school 24/7?

The Artesh flipping is key. They’ll bring weapons to stand against the IRGC, something protesters to date haven’t had.
I wonder if China is trying to cut a deal with the US to ensure they continue to get oil, and if so will pressure the IRGC to stand down.

Clearly those are all full of care packages such as rice and beans for the Iranians.

Could also be more fighters in there if we have.bases to operate out of now that were previously not available.
At some point the pilots who have been active for 4 days now will need relief.

Have there been any reports of any new anti-drone technologies used by US or Israel?

hard to believe we will be able to (OR if we even WANT to…) rebuild any of them
Frankly nothing would say "America First" more than taking out our enemy and then leaving except for a small token force. Let the Saudis be the leader of the ME so they can deal with those who get out of line.
