the tactic i supported in iran was not to kill a few figureheads in a show of force to set an example and bully them around but to completely obliterate the entire fascist regime with the intent of creating a revolution by necessity, and the united states has to this point not carried through with that. the fact that the son of mr khamenei was not killed in the first wave of strikes in the first place is a failure of tolerance. this will not succeed if key members of the regime are allowed to survive in order to "make a deal", it has to be merciless and total, with the intent of wiping them off the map and forcing them to start from scratch.
