    Whenever I read the US or Israel wanting to free Iran from it's "horrible regime", remember this incident plus the hospitals targeted during their attack.

      And remember how Iran slaughtered tens of thousands of its own citizens a few weeks prior. And the continual killing of Iranian citizens having differing political options of the regime.

      War is never pretty or perfect. Winning a war comes with great cost

        You talk about it as if America cared one bit about those citizens. This war just made the regime stronger.

        If America succeeded, it would change the head, steal oil and keep the regime there to keep control on locals. Like in Venezuela. Maybe committing few atrocities on top of it.

        But also of course, it would then invade Cuba and Greenland and god knows who.
