Iran again

turn it into another iraq/syria/libya, the entire middle east will then consist of either vassal states of the usa or countries aligned with their interests with the exception of yemen i guess. israel will then be free to carry out their greater israel plan.

i'm not an expert on iran at all. but regime change in theory could be a very positive thing. but it's very unpredictable and who knows - actually no one knows - what will come next. it can always get worse. worst case is a civil war. that is a very bad worst case. so if that's what they are going for, they are rolling the dice. but of course maybe they just don't care and are only interested in disempowering thier foe

Yesterday there was a report Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to take out the supreme leader.

It really comes to something when Donald Trump is the adult in the room.

yeah but to know where they all are

Surely you should say "Iran is an Israeli puppet state" at this point. At least before yyaldrin says it.

Maybe there's a practical explanation for it, but saw someone yesterday saying it's "interesting" they can get at these guys in Iran with almost pinpoint accuracy from over a thousand miles away yet next door in Gaza they claim the best they can do is to just destroy everything in sight to get at Hamas...

They're underground.

We're also told that the Iranians would love a regime change, for instance one in which hundreds of people don't get executed because they protested.

The principle aim is to reduce the nuclear threat.
