As the article above indicates, IR learned their leasson from what happned in 1981 in Iraq. They have more than 300 different sites which ic impossible for Israel and US to target. The Air strike is a dead end street and the administration should focus on the one and only option: REGIME CHANGE!

One does not have to bomb all 300+ sites; there are a handful of sites that could be attacked that would destroy their nuke capability for years, enough time for the Iranians to Regime Change their own country for the benefit of the world.

Iran probably built schools, apartment buildings, and hospitals on top of nuclear sites. They couldn't care less about their own people.

It is not remotely impossible to bomb 300 targets. The USAF destroyed the entire oil industry in Germany in a matter of months, in 1944. Our technology for it is vastly superior to what it was then. If the nuke drive is not stopped by domestic insurrection and the US does not decide to invade conventionally to effect regime change that way, the US can readily destroy the Iranian nuclear program from the air.

I'd prefer regime change by insurrection too. But the record of peoples rising up against totalitarian regimes with thousands of tanks and dedicated paramilitaries, it singularly bad. The usual result is 5000 to 50000 dead and no change in regime, in days or months. It takes serious commitment to military action, weapons, and may potentially also require US air support, as it did for the northern alliance in Afghanistan. Are you ready for that?

Because the idea that these nuts are going to go quietly because of people in the streets with flowers chanting slogans, is a dream and completely unrealistic, and will not happen. No more than rallies in Tianamen square brought down communism in China, or protests in 1991 toppled Saddam.
