I’m not for this but since we are doing it we should go all the way. Destroy all powerplants, and substations. Destroy all (9) refineries. Seize Kharg terminal and take what’s there. Wait for societal collapse while arming resistance and let them take their country.
Yeah I hate armchair Generals too but our troops on the ground is the last thing I want to see.
Agree but we might have to put troops on the ground in order to had out arms.
Another possibility is route arms through Iraq Kurdistan. A very iffy and delicate thing to do that. Greater Iraq might not like further arming of the Kurds because that will be what it looks like (Of course the Kurds will siphon off money and arms as part of “the deal”!) Greater Iran might not like it because part of Iran is “true Kurdistan”.
