So when do we start dropping rifles to the opposition?

It's probably already happening. Folks around here think the public is made aware of all our government/military does and plans! It's such a silly presumption.
This operation was orchestrated, planned, and gamed out months in advance. All involved knew Iran would send missiles to all ME countries in hope of causing chaos, which is why those affected countries quickly opposed Iran and supported the efforts of the US and Israel.

We need to the military leaders that are sympathetic to our side to take over the country. Not a bunch of rabid civilians running around with machine guns.
