The IRGC doesn’t care. They believe if they make the earth uninhabitable the 13th Imam will save them. They completely believe this.
They are not people you can bargain with on the basis that threatening their lives inhibits them. They’ve love to be turned into white shadows, because they would die as martyrs and go to heaven.
It is the powerless 90 million Iranians that don’t want to die like that,but they have no choice.
Then it's time for them to "screw their courage to the sticking point", stand up, and do something about it for themselves.
