We should avoid civilian casualties, but we must not go to the lengths we have in the past, and certainly not to the lengths the IDF goes to. Mahmoud is not dumb, he will have 5 civilans srrounding every tank and SAM he has.
If Iranian civilians know that we’ll still bomb priority targets even if it means collateral damage they may have more incentive to initiate their own rebellion. So I agree with that. I just don’t think we should go in and flatten neighborhoods at random (or nuke them). So maybe I misunderstood your original point.
