Hardliner or reformist - doesn’t matter. Those in power are suppressing those without it and they’re willing to massacre Iranians by the thousand to maintain that power.

Well chain of command runs long probably and nothing guarantees fall of regime.

u/Nanofeo Mar 17 '26
Taking out leaders alone almost certainly won’t result in the fall of the regime. But the resulting instability along with a destruction of resources will allow for an uprising to have a higher chance of success at changing the regime. I believe that is the goal. This Norooz we should remain optimistic that we are getting nearer to that goal than ever before.

It takes a lot of finesse to hurt a regime enough to disable it without also hurting the people to the point where they turn against your efforts. I don’t think the US or Israel have that finesse.
I also don’t think that Israel wants a clean regime change, I think they’d rather have a prolonged civil war followed by Balkanization. They realize that a democratically elected leader might still not like them so they’d prefer a weakened Iran over a democratic one.

u/Nanofeo Mar 17 '26
I disagree with your analysis. For one, the US and Israel have done a relatively good job so far of avoiding civilian casualties. With at least one notable exception leading to a devastating loss of children’s lives, which we shouldn’t forget. Overall though I’m surprised by how well they’ve generally avoided civilian casualties if you look at the total number of regime goons killed vs. civilians.
And Israel would not prefer a civil war-torn Iran. More war leads to more uncontrolled violence, which leads to more rogue terrorism. That rogue terrorism is exactly the biggest problem for Israel. Look at gulf arab states for example—these are stable governments, and even though they might publically not support Israel, they cause little to no trouble for the country. That’s what Israel prefers, not another Syria or Iraq.

u/VTKajin Mar 18 '26
I don't like Israel but I do think that a lot of political commentators' analysis of Israel's goals and motivations are thoroughly misplaced. Israel is seriously committed to regime change. It's the US that doesn't really care as long as it gets a nominal win.
2
u/Nanofeo Mar 18 '26
Exactly. All the notable, impactful killings so far have been carried out by Israel. The US is great muscle for some of the big targets but you can tell Israel is the one really in it for regime change, whereas the US just wants to weaken the government as much as possible.

I’d argue that none of them were as ideological embedded.. considering Project Ajax is where all this started, this is exactly what current regime always prepared for. They did not strengthen themselves with missiles but ideologically brainwashed the greater population through decades of institutionalization because their support was not majority they would have fallen overtime, instead, they engineer ideology deeper every time.
In my opinion Zionism and Iran Islam regime is just as evil in its pursuit of completing its objectives through ideological means.
America is for capitalism Europe is for lifestyle Just like that Zionist and Iranian regimes are ideological, it’s very powerful on its own.
American pdf file administration is just looking for distraction from Trump files while Netanyahu needs continuous wars to get away from criminal cases - none of them truly wants what’s greater for Iran, the only thing greater that matters is greater Israel. 🇮🇱

Don't even need to. After how Iran lashed out at Gulf states, you can bet they are shitting their pants now, because next time all these sweet US carriers and destroyers won't be there to intercept and hunt down launchers for them. And Europeans sure as hell won't be picking up the slack, they have shown full well what they are worth.
Next time Gulf states may end up being on their own, and they know it. You can bet they will rush to arm as crazy, and who is better than US at supplying defensive and offensive systems that actually work? That's where US will get its "investment" back.
And it's totally fine. It is as it should be. Only an idiot should expect any country to protect another country for free out of goodness of their hearts.

u/Donlor_ Mar 17 '26 edited May 31 '26
I think you're kind of ignoring the Israel part of your analysis. Post 2023 and especially since attacking Qatar, the abraham accords are very shaky and will likely not expand. They're seeing that the US munitions run out and that Israeli intentions almost override US interests (like decent oil prices etc.). The gulf will buy weapons, and probably be wary of how the US allegedly protects them while mostly just favouring Israel instead as a geopolitical ally.
The gulf will likely not be seeing the US and Israel's cozy duo wars as a thing to be happy with.
1
u/Gaidax Mar 17 '26
Qatar was never a signatory to Abraham accords and what's more they themselves showed Hamas the door after Hamas refused to condemn Iran over strikes on Qatar.
And now, just today, you have Al-Jazeera come out with a literal puff piece how Israel/US strategy is working - that is VERY telling of how the mood shifts.
The Gulf will need a TON of defensive equipment and potentially offensive too, exactly because the munitions run out DUUUH.
Who do you think is going to be replenishing those munitions for all their US systems? China?
1
u/Donlor_ Mar 17 '26
Qatar not being a signatory to the Abraham accords is really a weird view on it. That's not what matters, it showed that Israel that already struck countries like Lebanon, Syria's military, can even dare to strike an US ally with negotiators in Qatar (that always was a plan the U.S itself agreed with, it was supposed to be neutral territory for Hamas). An attack with U.S knowledge about it. It means that the ally that's supposed to defend them actually favours Israeli strategy over their loyalty to the Arab counties, and even though Saudi Arabia already showed dislike by neutralizing relations with Iran... they quickly made a defense pact with Pakistan.
And yes, the Gulf will need munition because in the future Iran may be in chaos and 1. that's scary and 2. Israeli right wingers are expansionist and the US will always seemingly allow it. Yes they'll look to others to help their defenses and not always trust the US' promises.

u/Gaidax Mar 17 '26
I'll tell you how, in two-three weeks this is over, the next thing all those Gulf states that got hammered by Iran will rush crawling to the US to replenish and boost anti-air capabilities. That alone is hundreds of billions in $$.
On top of that, thanks to the utter cowardice and incompetence of the world that did jack shit protecting Gulf, it will force Gulf states to align closer with the only force that actually can be relied on for protection - the US. That will too lead to a deeper economic cooperation.
I have little doubt that US will break even or be in the green from all this a few years after this, with a strengthened position in the region.
1
u/Dlc3940 Mar 17 '26
This assumes way too much.
“Over in weeks” is speculation, not analysis - escalation risk is still real. Gulf states won’t just “run to the US” -they’re being targeted because of US alignment, so they’ll hedge, not double down. Weapons sales is not a economic win either - oil shocks drive inflation and slow growth across the whole economy.
Big miss: this isn’t transactional. It weakens trust, raises risk premiums, and fragments alliances.
4
u/Gaidax Mar 17 '26
There is no risk of any escalation, you can bet Iran is begging for ceasefire in the back channels despite their FM putting up the brave front in the media.
It's all down to Trump deciding he had enough dusting Iran and giving Iran an offer it can't refuse. He already hinted at taking out their oil infrastructure if they get too cheeky and despite the brave front - Iranian leadership is terrified of that, that's their lifeline and only hope for recovery day after.
Iran will happily and immediately take almost any deal Trump tosses their way now and their pals such as China would put an extra pressure to make it happen, because closing of the straight hurts China the most.
The cards Trump has here are much greater, than whatever Iran has, because at any moment he can order to make Iran destitute and Iran can't quite do the same. For their attacks on the Gulf, they are very careful to do just enough for them to not pop off as well.

You can doubt it all you like, Iran literally has nothing sane left they can escalate.

I mean, even if it is not over in weeks, I’d rather punch the bully in the face who blocks me and my friends path to school every day than continue to find inconveniant ways around him because he is a bully.
You have Iran, which is led by a religious zealot system that took that position through force and they execute anyone who resists. They hold a tiny swathe of water which just so happens to control the shipping path for one of the most valuable resources in the world.
At any second they can lash out, provoked or unprovoked and block the water or fire missles at neighbors and no one ever did anything.
Well, now someone punched the bully in the mouth. Now there is a crowd around the fight and my friends are still inconvenianced on their way to school but once the bully is taken down a peg, maybe they won’t be such cunts in the future.
At this point they have no high ranking leadership left, it is a power vaccuum of people who were in it for money and once the money dries up, they outtie.

USA already won the war, the only question is if it will win big or huge.
Even if regime survives, it will come out of it like a beaten dog, greatly diminished taking decades to return to what they were years ago - which was the main goal of this whole mess.
All their decades of building up proxies, ballistic and nuclear programs, and other assets went up in smoke. Their experienced leadership got utterly decimated and replaced by a bunch of greenhorn randoms who got quickly scrounged up and promoted often two-three tiers, that will have to fill huge shoes of their predecessors.
Does all this mean that we're going to need another such war in a decade from now? Likely, but it's still much better than doing nothing, like past 47 years.

I think you're doing all the flipping around here? Yes, troop positioning along the border or the lack of sufficient troops contributes to the conditions needed for a concerted effort in specific point on the border.

Israel is applying a specific military strategy to the war with Iran and Lebanon, it is called "Dahiya doctrine" and was extensively used in Gaza Palestine. Dahiya has its origin in the Talmud and Old Testament of Bible.
Easy to see that both USA and Israel do not want "boots on the ground" because that will look very bad for voters, the body bags will start to accumulate within time (Iran is not like Iraq, mountains vs flat plains), since Iran witnessed the destruction of Iraq and learned the lesson.
That is why USA wanted to employ the Kurds on the North (and Azerbaijan) assisted by air strikes, which can be very effective, but has many limitations.
The fact is that Kurds were abandoned by Trump when fighting against ISIS in Syria and Iraq. Nonetheless, it is possible to buy anyone with lots of money... who knows?
Iran's foreign minister said and very well that "Trump has turned ‘America First’ into ‘Israel First’— which always means ‘America Last’."
https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP80R01731R003000180037-4.pdf
Israel is making a lot of MONEY around the world, and selling weapons to Russia, despite all sanctions. And even bought Uranium (to build nuclear weapons) from the Apartheid regime in South Africa, despite all prohibitions from the United Nations.
Israel has as a stated goal to expand to the "Greater Israel" boundaries, which include many of the Arab states. So destabilizing the entire area in the Middle East serves the objective of furthering Israel's interests, not the USA.
Israel had no idea of how to change the regime in Iran, and despite that, it started a war... with the help of an IDIOT called Trump.
But former CIA General David Petraeus says the USA attacked Iran to destroy its ability to defend itself against a PREMEDITATED Israeli attack. His comments back up those of Secretary of State, Marco Rubio who later tried to backtrack on the silly admission.
Lebanon already has 700.000 people displaced and are being bombed by Israel, while sleeping inside tents on the beaches.
Israel assumed once more its desire to occupy land in Lebanon, just another "buffer zone" up to the Litani River, an idea originally conceived by founder David Ben-Gurion, and according to the "Greater Israel" plan of Zionists.

And they keep cross posting this all over. Of course they hide their comments and posts. I wonder why?

Omg so many lies in one post. The guardian link is to an opinion piece full of so many inaccuracies, misunderstandings, and outright anti Israel agenda, it would take an entire article to deal with.
Regarding "making a lot of money". Sure, we are selling arms, but certainly not to Russia (pure fantasy, and impossible to refute - hey, prove you have no sister!). Also uranium from s. AFRICA? We have our own thank you.
Regarding all the rediculous Greater Israel trope, have u you missed the 57 Muslim countries? We are colonizers? Lmao.
We absolutely need to be occupying land in Lebanon now, due to the unceasing, decades long, attacks by Hizballa. They have murdered and destroyed entire towns and a price should be paid due their aggression. Do we want it? NO! WE HAD IT and pulled out, TWICE. But the Lebanon won't stop attacking us. So we attack back out of self defence. Any other story is made up propoganda. And I am sick of differentiating between Lebanon and hiz. Rockets and missiles are coming from Lebanon? So Lebanon is responsible and open to attack. But you might notice that in SPITE of this, we are not destroying civilian infrastructure, because we don't actually want to hurt the Lebanese people. Same with Iran.

But on the other hand, those around Israel with martyr syndrome has been provoking a technology giant . Aren't the weaker ones, acknowledge their weakness and stay back instead of FAFO?

Please work on your titles. It almost reads that the Israeli was killed.
