Trump has conspicuously avoided killing large numbers of Iranian troops. More bombs have been dropped than Iranians killed, a remarkable feat, suggesting he times these things to minimize body count. Problem is winning wars involve destroying the other guy’s army. Not his equipment, which can quickly be replaced, but his men, who can’t.

During the war, Trump specifically told Israel to NOT kill certain regime members, stupid mistake, you kill them ALL then negotiate

“Trump has conspicuously avoided killing large numbers of Iranian troops.”

Where have you read that? I’m not doubting you, but I haven’t seen that anywhere.

Considering he Pearl Harbored their political leadership, threatened to annihilate their nation, along with other incredibly hostile actions and threats, I seriously doubt most Iranians care about phony claims of restraint.

Indeed. And full credit to him for that. He knows the rank and file are just cannon fodder for the regime much like the young protestors. They are just regular people with families. He doesn't want this turning into a Russia/Ukraine thing. Kill their top leadership. Level their military instructure. Take over their oil. Sounds good enough to me.
