Iran has to be dealt a violent blow. Wishing and praying otherwise is not going to end their belligerence.
They need their lights knocked out. They need their basic water sources destroyed. They need their oil refineries destroyed. They need their airports and air force destroyed.
To win a war, you have to destroy the enemy’s WILL and MEANS to continue their fight. When they stand in stunned silence in the rubble of their country, they will ONLY THEN get the message.
Iranians hate the Mullahs. Over time, they’ll moderate. It may take decades before this will happen.
