Trump just did this, without any domestic approval, your point is ancillary to this discussion as Trump doesn't give a shit about Iranians wellbeing, he is trying to empower hard right elements in Iran so Iran will correctly do its job of playing scary islamic country so US and Israeli jingoistic propaganda has a chance of fooling people.
Not defending Trump and these attacks are a waste of human lives and a strategic shit-show, just getting ahead of a lot of the whitewashing of the current Iranian regime that's already popping up. We all know Trump and think he's a piece of shit. A lot of people haven't been paying attention to what was going on in Iran. Literally thousands were killed for protesting just in the last few months.

Fair, I have no desire to defend the Iranian government.
