We’ll kill thousands of children and be marked by the world, rightly or wrongly, as barbarians. Surely there must be another way to do this short of total destruction.
Iran is not days or weeks away from long range missiles and nuclear bombs. We were told time and again that their programs were seriously degraded. What’s the truth??

Your mindset is exactly what iran is hoping for.
They cant protect every bridge and power plant in the country......all we have to do is pivot and hit where they aren’t.
I’ve wondered about announcing the targets since Trump started talking about them. Bad plan. As far as the power plants go, I’m guessing they’ll use graphite bombs. Unlike normal explosives, these explode over the target and drop conductive filaments which short out the equipment without physically destroying it. Presumably, nobody will be hurt by the actual “bomb” since it’s not a traditional explosive.
Equipment will burn up and breakers will blow. But no physical destruction will take place on the actual structures. So returning them to service means replacing generators and electrical infrastructure, which is well less than half the cost of the actual plant. It can all be shipped in later from abroad.

Missiles able to reach the USA would take several months.
My estimate for a bomb is three weeks.
Building a bomb is not enough, it has to be delivered. It might be smuggled.
To achieve maximum damage, an airburst about three miles above ground is required.
No, we won’t.

Bomb them where they are not. If they surround a power plant....bomb the power lines going away from the plant..like knock down 15 towers separated from each other so their repair crews are stretched thinly...in the most inaccessible places...duh...when they go to fix it....warthogs...
Bomb the fuel delivery system to the power plant. Create short circuits along the power output trail...
Steal the oil...charge transit fees to China and other unfriendlies including Spain, France, England, etc
Cut off electricity to M.Khamenis hospital.
In honor of Artemis crew, knock out a few sewage treatment or sewer lines.....derail militarily important railroads...
I was wondering who was derailing our trains, blowing up our refineries, causing blackouts, etc... and I think I know now. I bet you we found out it was Iran or the proxies...
