They have babies a dime a dozen.
Killing their personnel which they see as expendable doesn’t hurt them in a lasting way.
Taking out their fresh water reserves with 34 out of 52 dams also having hydroelectric generators however, thats a hit.
This is what should have happened under Carter.
In fact, Iran has significant problems with water supply, as the water table in some areas has dropped over 150 feet, due to heavy usage. So, due to that, and growing electrical demand, they have done what CA should have... But, all those high dams make them very vulnerable to attack, too.
We don’t need to hurt the people, we already have their hearts and minds thanks to the brutality of the regime against their people. The regime just slaughtered hundreds of protestors. We need to go after the regime, that is, their pride and joy, the IRGC facilities that Iran uses to smuggle weapons, oil and drugs and to launder money. Their port facilities, etc., their training centers, and also anything related to biologicals, missile development, or nukes. We don’t need to make the civilians more miserable than they are.
Actually they have a manpower shortfall caused by the IranIraq war.
