it seems a US strike against Iran is almost inevitable at this point unless Trump has a sudden change of heart
the objective can only be regime change. the question is how they intend to achieve regime change through airstrikes alone?
the IRGC and Army are united, Basij not deployed, missiles intact
I don't think it is possible to effect regime change in Iran even if they kill the entire political and military leadership. Iran is not a small group, it has a bureaucracy and civil service and 'deep state' that run things behind the scenes
Trump usually likes quick operations, so he will try to achieve regime change quickly as well
I hope Iran has thousands of missiles locked and loaded ready to drown US bases in the region. there are 5 US navy ships in the Persian Gulf. they can all be targeted quite easily
it is existential for IRI now, the time to fight back is now or never, there will not be another chance
