No it wouldn’t. The Islamic regime would still be in charge and Iran would just turn into a humanitarian nightmare with a bunch of famine in disease affecting mostly just the innocent civilians who just want to go to work and raise their kids. The regime would still use what money and aid they get from their allies to maintain the IRGC and keep their stranglehold on the strait of Hormuz.

I agree with you. So what’s the solution? Do we start getting surgical with special ops going after leadership?

All of us have been for blowing the shite out of Iranian leadership and are hopeful that terrorist regime is overthrown, and I think the majority would agree that we would also not want boots on the ground with the slippery slope we learned with GWOT.

So what would we be OK with?

And another more important question I believe is what can we guarantee we will get for it?

Are we OK with Marines taking Kharg Island? What will it get us and what will it cost us?

The most ideal scenario is an uprising from the citizens but they must be armed and that would be a nearly impossible task.
