Time to identify every location of the Republican Guard.
Israel intel might help with that.

Then, use bunker-busters on them in the middle of the night.
Blow them all to kingdom come.

I'm thinking the smallest tactical nukes might be of use, too (we probably have very low-yield models that few know about).
Flatten them.

And I'll say it again:
Find where the "supreme leader" is hiding, and take him out.

And... blow up his headquarters mosque, just for good measure.
Actually, target those structures with JDAMs filled with concrete. The kinetic energy will destroy the targeted structure with minimal collateral damage, unlike a bomb filled with explosive (which can take out the whole block).

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I can only hope that it is so spectacular and decisive that Russia and China also get the message loud and clear. That it will give them pause on what we are actually capable of.

Institute for the Study of War
@TheStudyofWar

NEW: ISW and @criticalthreats have recorded significantly less protest activity across Iran since January 8. We assess with low-to-medium confidence that protests are occurring beyond what we have recorded, however, and that the regime has successfully limited the amount of information leaving Iran. The regime’s internet shutdown likely explains, at least partially, the decrease in recorded protest activity since January 8. It is possible that the rate of protest activity across Iran has also decreased due to the regime’s brutal crackdown on the protests.

Iranian dissident unloads on American left's silence on deadly protests

Story by Madison Colombo

Iranian-American activist Masih Alinejad is accusing the American left of turning its back on Iranian protesters amid reports of thousands of deaths and a near-total communications blackout imposed by the regime.

"The silence of [the] left and liberals in America and Europe is not an accidental silence. It’s an ideological silence," Alinejad said Tuesday on "Fox & Friends."

Alinejad, who has been targeted by the Iranian regime for her activism, said Western activists and celebrities who loudly champion "Free Palestine" causes have remained silent as Iranians are killed in the streets.

"It will expose their hypocrisy," she said.

"It will expose how they sympathize with our killers, with Islamist terrorists."

Iran’s regime is facing one of the largest anti-government movements in years. Iranian rights groups say thousands have been killed as security forces move to suppress demonstrations, with some estimates putting the death toll above 3,000, Fox News' Trey Yingst reported Monday.

She accused Western figures of helping the regime by portraying protesters’ calls for regime change as a foreign plot led by Israel or President Donald Trump.

Perhaps Trump is planning on taking out Iran's oil infrastructure across the country all at once. Very tricky situation.

Sounds like Trump is looking for a face-saving off ramp.

Maybe so, but it also sounds like we are going to drop some bombs.  His preference is small scale operations, but there's a decent chance Iran will retaliate against our bases this time.  And then, how do we not get sucked into a regime change war.

All those people will have died for nothing if the Islamist stay in power.

Foolish me, I actually thought Trump had a plan and was going to have their backs like he claimed. Don't know what to think or than the horror of it all.

Sounds like Trump is looking for a face-saving off ramp.

Sounds like it, and that’s tragic.  The hope of American help has sustained the Iranians fighting for freedom.  Very likely they’ll give up and once again go into self-preservation.  We had the chance to remove the most malevolent state sponsor of terrorism in history and with each passing hour, we’ve let it slip by.  It appears the administration is decoupling from the Iran uprising and moving on.  Wondering if Putin told Trump to forget any hope of ending the war in Ukraine if the U.S. carries out attacks in Iran.
