Note the Iranian official demanding people come out and act as human shields for the IRGC.
A more detailed follow up report on strikes of security checkpoints in Tehran and other areas.
Note the call for human shields by Iran and the call by the Crown Prince and the USA to stay home for now.
Israel’s main goal is regime change. It is targeting the IRGC and the goon squads. The US is targeting Iran’s ability to export oil, its drones and ballistic sapabilities and its ability to mine or close the strait of Hormuz. Unless there is a regime change all this was for naught.
“Unless there is a regime change all this was for naught”
I agree with you that regime change would be the ideal outcome.
But a broken, and broke, Iran in disarray and maybe even all its oil facilities destroyed could not:
1. Get a nuclear weapon.
2. Build missiles to threaten its neighbors, Europe, and the USA
3. Fund proxy terror groups.
1-3 are the objectives of this war.
Regime change would certainly be better than leaving Iran a smoking crater for the people of Iran, but that’s going to be up to them.
The IDF targeted some more IRGC and Basij today at checkpoints
We need to be killing thousands of these scumbags wherever they mass. Do we have huge flechette bombs in our arsenal?
One of ten Hellfire variants.
It is Israeli/US/tech-AI against a culture that cannot even manufacture a commode.
Iran will be liberated, and stupid, primitive Islam will be diminished greatly.
