Yes, I understand that is the current argument. But as soon as we get to a point where we need to start killing large swaths of civilians, it will change to “but they are bad”.
Just like it did in Iraq and Gaza.
That’s what the warpigs always do.
“We need to attack them. They are bad.”
“O.K. fine. We will only attack the leadership.”
“The reason we had to kill all of those civilians is because they support the leadership.”
Rinse
Repeat
The vast majority do not support the leadership, but are disarmed and controlled by the IRGC, a brutal enforcement arm of the Mullahs.
