Agree. The killing of the non Shia populace is what I would expect the IRGC would do once their regime is being dismantled. So the IRGC and regular army needs to be destroyed. We don’t know how many of those are in IRGC and army for the money or other non regime reasons, so cutting off their pay might change their allegiances. But the general population needs to be able to not only defend themselves, but go on the offensive.
IMHO
Trump has been taking out the mullahs and the IRGC leadership. He has left the Army untouched. It seems like he does not think the Army is radical like the IRGC.
