When they take over the skies, the B52’s and the C-130’s can come in and drop the daisy cutters and similar super heavy loads!

Daisy cutters will not find a role in this war, except perhaps to clear landing fields for troops if we need to make sure the beaches on the straights of Hormuz are free of anti-ship missiles.

Or maybe at the nuclear sites if we decide to go get the nuclear materials ourselves. And perhaps scuttle their nuclear reactor.

I don’t see us doing the first. Maybe the second.

Yes this is what the war fighting will move to if the mullahs continue to resist.

Trump has already said something to the effect of surrender or die.

They take out the leadership with small bombs.

To take out the mullah troops at scale —they’ll need big bombs.

sheesh. most of these men will not be stationed in big cities but rather in their own garrisons which are just sitting ducks.

Their turn however will not come until all the military and police state infrastructure has been taken out.

If the mullahs still don’t surrender—then the troops will will be taken out.
