Keep it up for a few more weeks and see if the body of the people have it in them to finish the job.

>>64914827
the bombing will continue until morale improves
(and by morale improving I mean regime change)

They are all muslim in the same way that americans are all christian

>>64914834
Not that I don't think the will is there but I don't think relying on the civilian population to rise up and take over is achievable in a country like Iran. Without outside influence they're probably gonna devolve into civil war as proxies fight for power.

>>64914827
Keep bombing the hardline politicians, military and IRGC until they are either all dead or they raise the white flag of surrender

>>64914834
Most of the people who were willing to fight were killed when Trump said help was coming and then fingered his ass for a month. Expect a rally around the flag instead

Nothing. You can't regime change with an air campaign. Iran will just be a point in Trump's long list of blustering failures.

>>64914842
Still an improvement.
But in seriousness, I get that. Just fuck doing it ourselves. We can prop up whoever sets up in Tehran first if we have to, or maybe we just leave the place in a pile of rubble, whatever. Trying to clean up Afghanistan after we broke it by accident didn't work out, so let's not try again.

>>64914854
Eh i don't really mind a civil war
but i am worried about any of the faction chimping out in the persian gulf and the refugee crisis that would come from civil war

>>64914854
Right but just bombing the shit outta Iran and fucking off isn't going to achieve anything either, infact it's just going to harbor more resentment and become another problem in the future to deal with. Unless the US has serious plans on backing somebody and have everything in place to begin after the bombings then what are we doing? If Trump's statement is anything to be believe from last night...he just wants to the local population to deal with the aftermath which would be a disaster.

>>64914827

>>64914863
I'm serious but literally nobody fucking like the iranian regime, they literally have been protesting yearly since 2016 and just a month ago, the iranian government fucking killed ten of thousands of people just to end the massive protests after the economy exploded

American could storm in and burn iranian cities to the ground and the average iranian would hate the government more than anything

>>64914874
>I'm serious but literally nobody fucking like the iranian regime
Rural hillbillies loves the regime tho. For religious reasons.

I know that and I understand that but what's the actual plan with Iran now? That's the worrying part because we haven't seen much happen after venezuela either. We took Maduro but his same shitty corrupt party is still in power so nobody's lives are getting any better over there. I don't want to be cynical about it but it's hard not to.

>>64914871

I wonder if Aliyev has ordered his General Staff to draw up "liberation" plans for Iranian Azerbaijan.

>>64914867
There was no regime change in Serbia. It's still filled with the same genocidal fucks as back then.

Libya is 1% the size of Iran and already had a civil war and didn't have the same oppressive infrastructure as Iran. Iran like China and Russia is built on repression, the civilians don't have guns. It's that simple.

>>64914881
I assume the plan is the same. Keep the existing government structure but bully them and force them to capitulate on policies at gun point. Foster a local opposition political party or movement that has a little more legitimacy than mere plants ie bring political leaders in exile. Force the existing government to leave them alone at gunpoint. Eventually force them to transition power at gunpoint, ideally in a democratic way. Use the existing regime as glorified scafolding for the new one.

It's basically an experiment in doing the opposite of nation building we saw in Iraq and Afghanistan. The planners behind it must have specifically analyzed why they failed and are testing if this will work instead.

>>64914902
Wouldn't be surprising if they occupied the Kurdish areas along the way.

>>64914853
Apparently they can kill the entire leadership.

>>64914999
I feel like the issue with forcing the current regime to transition out of power via gunpoint is that they aren't corrupt mobsters like Maduro and his gaggle of retards. The Iranian regime are fucking horrible but they're also not going to take it lying down. I imagine they're gonna fight back as hard as their circumstances will allow them because it's existential in nature for them, they got nothing to lose. Also we're extorting the venezuelan's oil but what we benefit from toppling Iran is a little more abstract to define.

>>64915052
There isn't, but it wouldn't be a long shot to say that the relatively well equipped and battle experienced Azeri military could move in and take over the region, assuming there isn't much resistance from the locals.

>>64915077
no
try a P-38 or F-35

>>64915078
Hell i'm pretty sure they could easily recruit, what would the people there rather have? a economy that actually work or a regime that have killed ten of thousands of people and will literally troon you out if your a faggot

It would probably depend on how quickly Azeris are able to move in and how cordial they are with the locals, but yeah.

>>64915086
Hmm, I feel like if the azeris strike fast, i feel like they could get pretty deep in

pretty get some dollars and shekels and air support and i think they could do very good for themselves

>>64915091
Don't forget that Azeris have a decently adequate air force themselves, plus all the roach drones.
They could do very well.

the real issue is that our guys in the region are the liberalized urbanites and getting them to fight is going to be hard.
the hope id think is that the regular army flips, which is possible since the regular army does not like the irgc. Both are essentially the private army of warlords, the regular army was just big and strong enough to survive the revolution and so got integrated into the structure of iran. Their leadership is still the old elites. The irgc has economic dominance by using their share of conscripts for unpaid labor in various business ventures and the army elites might be looking at that and imagining it being them.

whatever the case i hope we just keep bombing irgc untill there are none left

>>64915069
they will always do it again they have lost touch with reality we just have to kill them.

Obviously Iranian Azerbaijan should join with Azerbaijan, Iranian Kurdistan with Iraqi Kurdistan (de facto independent) and Turkish Kurdistan, Iranian Baluschistan with Pakistani Baluchistan (and together with India and Afghanistan put an end to the Pakistani experiment). Arabistan should have been Iraq's but after Saddam's failed invasion they don't want anything to do with Iraq, perhaps if they were offered more autonomy, but I suspect they'd rather be their own thing (low population and oil will make them another Kuwait).

I don't think people understand very well how deep the Pasdaran system is and how influent its members are.

A change of regime is possible but very unlikely without a proper ground operation.

Both sides will sling shit at each other until they run out of ammo, which could be months depending on how the intensity holds up. And after all of this, it will still be the Islamic Republic of Iran.

No, but they can absolutely be toppled by a bunch of rebels fed up with their lack of power and water in the capital, who conveniently received a bunch of free guns and munitions from a mysterious merchant with a hook-shaped nose. The bombing campaign ensures that the regime cannot respond quickly and decisively as they did last time.

>Persians just wamt to grill.
Persians are the people who ousted the old regime and turned Iran into what it is today. It was popular revolution, nearly bloodless due to its almost universal support that ousted the shah. People want to gaslight you into imagining every Iranian wants the government overthrown-this is untrue. There are a LOT of more liberal people in cities, and that's who gets the international attention. More or less you're seeing the opinions of Iran's Portland, and imagining the whole country supports their beliefs. It is untrue and acting on this false premise will lead to disaster.

It is important to separate ones personal beliefs from the matter. Westerners want to believe Iranians are well educated and support freedom and an open society. Some do. Many do not. It's the same deal with China. Why did Tienanmen square happen? A fool will say because the Chinese people wanted freedom. In reality, the Chinese people followed orders, gunned down their countrymen, and pretended nothing happened. Iran couldn't gun down tens of thousands of protesters if they didn't have an equal or greater number of supporters.

It's simply not true. They're not American. They do not by and large believe in freedom the way we do.

Iranians meanwhile are trying to modernize and genuinely dont want a theocracy getting in the way of their prosperity while all of the arab states are okay with it so long as a Muslim rules over them.

You are glossing over the fact that military/security forces are staffed with the supporters of those that are in power. So there's an imbalance of forces that support/oppose governments and the side that oppose often needs way more people than the minority that supports in order to topple the regime

>>64914827
You kill anyone between the guy that gave you intelligence required to kill his bosses in exchange for power and do a few culls later as people challenge his authority.

>>64917352
That is true, and Iran has a very large military. That doesn't really help the opposing argument.

>>64917303
If you theoretically dropped a bomb on the head of "every member of the regime", then sure, you might have regime change, but that's way easier said than done.

You underestimate how big a "regime" is. It's thousands and thousands of people. People keep falling for this stupid fucking fallacy that if you cut off the head you'll kill the snake, but that's not how most governments work, with a very few exceptions. A government is just a set of jobs. If you kill someone in one of those jobs, they just put some other guy in there and the machine keeps running. They have a bottomless pool of potential replacements, unless you're talking about genociding the entire country, which you might argue for on the Internet but isn't really feasible in real life. If you kill a bunch of them at once, it can cause some confusion, but that's why chains of command exist. You can hope to cause infighting between people that want the top jobs, but you can't count on that happening. And if there's someone who's really good at their job, you can kill him and hope the successor is more incompetent (see Qasem Soleimani), which can help but isn't enough to bring regime change all by itself.

The only time the "cut off the head" approach brings about regime change is when the regime is a thin and unstable minority ruling over a majority that hates them, and that's not true in Iran. And I hate to break it to you, but usually that's more true of the regimes we prop up than the ones we bring down.

This is such a smooth brained take. This isn’t cutting the head off the snake to kill the body. It’s smacking a dog on the snout to get it to stop it from digging in the trash. We tried the whole snake thing in Iraq with debaathification and it was a total failure. So we’re just forcing some organizational rearrangements and seeing how that turns out…also we have a snitch telling us where all these assholes are and we just have to kill his bosses and competitors to get what we want.

>>64917489
>>64917511
Ok, even if you could bomb enough people to bring about regime change (which I think would basically require genocide levels of bombing we would never do in practice) what comes after that? How do you get a new regime that's better than the old one?

Unless the majority of the population sees you as liberators getting rid of a hated tyrant (again, not true in Iran despite what American media tells you, there are many who hate the regime but it's not even close to an overwhelming majority), you have two options: Either you stand on principles, allow them to hold elections and let the genuine will of the people be done--and they'll all be united on a platform of "Fuck those guys who just bombed us" so you'll be back to square one with an unfriendly regime. Or you install a handpicked regime that is friendly, and the people will hate them because you installed them, even if they try to rule well. They'll have to use repressive tactics to stay in power and rely on your support, which results in you having to spend money and soldiers on propping up a regime that is just as brutal as the one you tore down. We literally already tried that in the SAME FUCKING COUNTRY.

I know you're really invested into the propaganda that Iranians are just like us and value freedom and liberty and all that, but it's not true. Many of them do, many of them do not, and it's not our fucking problem.

Iran just bombed French troops and in an incredibly fast reply the CDG battle group is underway

>>64917567
Yeah that's fine, but that's not the same thing as "bombing them into regime change". That's just "bombing shit until they swap out some people in leadership and promise not to make nukes or support terrorists anymore" but I wouldn't call that "regime change". They're not writing a new constitution or having complete replacement elections in that scenario. That idea is way more feasible though I still hate it because we're fighting an unconstitutional war with American tax money on behalf of the Jews.

You're not fooling anyone.

Why would anyone be huffing over the key players of the Iranian regime being ousted for next to no cost and acting like they don't understand why it benefits the west?

1) Intel wasn't as good. Remember, we kicked OIF off a little early because we thought we knew where Saddam was... but were wrong. And then he couldn't be found for the next couple months, despite lots of effort. It helps that the Ayatollah didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition and thought it was safe to have a big all-hands meeting in his fancy palace. It also helps that Mossad has apparently had the Iranian government thoroughly penetrated for years. And, of course, we have a lot more options in munitions and stealthy delivery platforms now, for a surprise deep strike.
2) W probably wanted to go for Iran--there were certainly some indications of it back in '03 and very early '04. But, there was a ton of political resistance to it, and then came the elections where being anti-war was suddenly a political cudgel wielded shamelessly by many of the same folks who had just been in favor of OIF before it had actually started. And after the elections, the insurgency (with different elements backed by Iran or by rich Sunnis and/or Sunni governments) kicked into high gear, and there certainly was no political capitol for dealing with Iran (despite all of the GIs Iran's insurgents killed).
3) As for the occupations, back then, the whole premise was that we didn't want to have any more 9/11s, and the best way to do that was to install local governments that would watch for and deal with local terrorists where we really couldn't. It wasn't talked about in government circles, but there was a fair bit of public opinion that Plan B was to start indiscriminate slaughter (e.g., nukes or massive bombing) to scare everyone into compliance. The carrot was viewed as far superior to the big, scary stick. The carrot didn't work (partly from being botched), but killing a few tens of thousands of jihadis (the "flypaper" strategy) *may* have had an effect.
4) If there's one thing Trump has demonstrated, it's that he knows how to cut Gordian Knots.

Just keep bombing them until something interesting happens. Full on coup by secular types (even just secular militarists, such as non-IRGC army formations) is most desirable. Even just a Syria style civil war cluster fuck will do, as long as Iran as we know it isn't a thing anymore. Lack of stability means Iran is no longer an organized threat, just a disorganized shithole of various factions including various Islamic extremists. These factions are a terror threat, but not a regional power with significant influence and as we've seen western governments have no problem with dealing with a foreign terror threat since it just means more domestic surveillance and authoritarianism.

>>64917255
That's a fair point. Europe and Asia would have gone nuts and made every non-military effort to re-open Hormuz (i.e., appeasement for Iran and pressure for the US) if the straits had been closed. Now? Things are a little different, both on the supply side and on the demand side.

>>64917701
>Being correct? I always am. Simply accept that I am and I'll stop. Yes, it's good that we're bombing Iran. No, the people don't support it.
anon you're really, stupidly hung up on this whole part when it's just a small component of why people are all for this shit going down, so either accept that the main argument peeps are making in here is that the Iran regime was fucking around with its terrorist funding and finally got its comeuppance after repeatedly not backing off from it or take your meds and leave us in peace.

>>64917599
Well, regardless of whether they did it or not, Iran has long since deserved full retaliation from basically everyone around them. An unironic coalition of the willing with everyone in the region, most of EU/NATO and the US would be fully expected if it wasn't for how defensible Iran is.
I guess it takes someone brazen like Trump to get the ball rolling, but the issue is making everything stick hard enough to make the IRGC collapse for good, that's pretty much the reason why nobody went at it for so long.

>>64917280
You left out the part where they ousted the Shah and then the mullahs came in and killed more people than the Shah had ever dreamed of. Oddly enough, kinda like the Russian Revolution, which was not started by nor won by the Bolsheviks, or the French Revolution, where nobody who started it wanted an Emperor to rule them, or the Mexican Revolution, ditto with Santa Anna, or...

History is full of the meanest and cruelest people seizing power when things get wobbly, and they're usually not the ones who started the revolt.

>>64917131
Because, retard, their "sandnig ways" are directly benefitting other, more powerful states that are against Western interests and are also a major force behind other bullshit like the ongoing flow of refugees from areas that have been destabilized in large part by Iran's whims. Now, with the economy in shambles, a major uprising still close in the rearview mirror, and their proxies castrated, it's no wonder these strikes are happening. Think before you post.

correct, hard to find major news outlets that have extensive reporting on this yet, because it just happened, but a French naval base was hit (mildly) with a drone strike, and now JVPITER has just cause to enter the war. charles de gaulle carrier strike group on the way as we speak, which will bring the total up to 3 for coalition forces.

also, RAF has opened up two bases, including Diego Garcia, for US use and has started shifting assets in order to seemingly begin bombing of their own. no real news on what germany has decided to do, but mertz announced it alongside starmer and jvpiter.

It seems that the Americans and Israelis are solving that issue by blowing up everything larger than a mortar.

I'm aware there are a lot of moving pieces and fog of war stuff going on, but I'm still a little unsure of how we go from "Bomb Iran" to "Regime change". The leadership has certainly gotten got, but the institutions within Iran they led don't appead to have unravelled, and are talking about successors and acting leaders, so it feels like it will be a challenge to truly neutralise them. And given one of the chief aims these institutions were united in is repressing internal dissent I'm not sure how a more favourable faction is supposed to grab power.

t. Dumb person.

>>64917967
You know how Iran has two militaries? That's because one's main job was to keep the other from revolting and killing leadership, and there's also the civilian populace. The regime change being aimed at isn't Western democracy, it's just for them to stop being retarded and fucking with global shipping and other forms of terrorism, which is a much more achievable goal from whoever wins out the power struggle

>>64917967
Physically remove the government and military apparatus until either what's left agrees to disband itself or the people come out and do it for them.
Yes, it does sound ambitious. That's also why we are physically removing the government and military apparatus. Just in case.

>>64917967
we're 48 hours into this campaign. we achieved air superiority very rapidly and are now working on air supremacy. in this phase of the war, the primary goal is destroying launchers, missile silos, the stored missiles themselves, and important signals intelligence assets. after that, you will probably begin to see targets shift to things like military bases, tanks, artillery, really any of the low value sitting duck assets that couldn't ever threaten an air asset. then who knows.

we've already started hitting some pretty important government buildings and blowing the fuck up out of military leadership.

I'd destroy all their navy, nuclear reactors, military bases and equipment and keep killing anyone who says they are in charge of something that was called the islamic republic of iran.

Very nice, tho Kurdistan should include Iraqi and Syrian regions if it has Turkish ones

It already has Iraqi Kurdistan but the Syrian one is really just some towns along the border with Turkey, it's just that their military control extends way beyond the actual parts they inhabit

All of this only serves Israel.

So where did these 3 American soldiers die?
Whereabouts in the Middle East did it happen?

It's mostly banking off of the secular army deciding it's best just to kill the IRGC and the other hardliners in the government. This will mostly depend on two things:
>they can confidently outmatch the IRGC/potential loyalists
The only way they'll go ahead with an attempt at regime change is if it ends in a (relatively) bloodless coup instead of a civil war. That's going to largely depend on how the strikes go and if they disproportionately target the IRGC.
>security assurances from America and friends
If a coup leads to a significantly worse national security situation, then it would be completely pointless. Trump has been hinting that he won't bomb them if they go through with it, but there hasn't been anything concrete as far as i'm aware.

Wrong board to ask that question

I think ISW had that pinged for a frigate from the set of 3.

The Taliban were sheltered and supported by Pakistan so they could afford to sit and wait for 20 years. The IRGC and hardliners don't have that luxury. On top of that, while the US had to build institutions from scratch in Afghanistan Iran already has functional bureaucracy and institutions that can continue to function under new leadership. And finally, the Taliban was able to continuously recruit because the average rural Afghani or tribal Pakistani is dirt poor with no prospects; Iranians, even poor rural ones, have a higher quality of life which isn't particularly conducive to getting people to live in caves for years and martyr themselves as long as the quality of life is maintained.

>Inspire massive Iranian protests with claims that you'll back them up
>Don't back them up and let Iran kill all of the protestors
>Months after they're dead and buried, launch a war that strategically entirely hinges on the dead protestors rising up and taking power
>They're all still dead and nobody's rising up
>Uhh, okay okay, maybe the infamously devout and hardline IRGC will make peace with you after taking power? Like in corrupt disloyal Venezuela
>Oh shit instead they're escalating the war and there are revolts in Bahrain and Pakistan now
I think this is the dumbest, least necessary big war we've ever fought.

Nigga they dont want regime change, that might let in someone competent.

>>64918383
Are you fucking retarded? The express goals of Trump and Netanyahu have been regime change.
What, do you think they're taking out the nuclear program they already destroyed last year?

>>64914827
I think the Shaheds are going to be a problem over the coming days / weeks / months / YEARS. If I were Iran, I'd bunker down for a protracted war of attrition with those things. Trump is saying he's going to keep bombing but those flying lawnmowers are cheap, easy to produce, and I don't see why Iran can't keep launching them at U.S. bases around the Gulf. I have confidence that Iran can't prevent the U.S. and Israel from gaining and maintaining air superiority but I don't have confidence the U.S. and Israel can halt Shahed production without actually invading Iran with ground troops, and those forces are not in the region in anywhere sufficient numbers to do that. Saw a video of one of them exploding at a base in Kuwait. Like you'd think the U.S. military would have more gun trucks like the Ukrainians but I suppose we're going to have to learn the hard way. Well, not a moment too soon at any rate.

Yeah, like Iran is not Venezuela. The government is bad (don't let clerics run your society) but think they have more of a real deep state there. Homer Simpson understood this:

The combined strike force is disrupting the Iranian navies’ ability to attack international shipping and US Navy vessels as part of the effort to degrade Iran’s retaliatory capabilities. An Israeli OSINT account reported strikes on the IRGC Navy frigate Jamaran, as ISW-CTP reported in its February 28 Morning Update.[39] The Jamaran is a Moudge-class frigate.[40] The Jamaran previously seized two US unmanned surface vessels in September 2022 and operated around the Red Sea during at least parts of the Houthis’ campaign against international shipping during the October 7 war.[41] Vantor separately captured satellite imagery of what appears to be an Alvand-class frigate on fire in Konarak, Sistan and Baluchistan Province (see below). Alvand-class frigates are the largest surface combatants that Iran has.[42] Iran had three Alvand-class frigates prior to the current conflict.[43] The remaining two Alvand-class frigates are moored in Bandar Abbas, Hormozgan Province.[44] The imagery shows that two Bayandor-class corvettes were moored next to the Alvand-class frigate. ISW-CTP assesses that the two Bayandor-class corvettes are the IRIS Bayandor and IRIS Naghdi.

This is why we attacked when we did, And it's why this is going to keep going for 2-6 years.

>>64918397
Hard to say. The frigate is the only one we know for sure, and the only reason we know about it is because it was in port.
