Iran is ruled by religious fanatics—lots and lots and lots of them.
We are not going to assassinate our way out of this.

Respectfully somewhat disagree. The rulers are actually oligarchs using the Qoran as their war guide. Of course they are also religious fanatics and jihadist.
But kill enough of then and blow their stuff up (not empty tents -- I'm talking their home, refineries, etc.) and they will lose power.
