why would they want the US regime to change? It's a poor long term strategy, you want the useless idiots to ruin their country, not have them replaced by competent people.

I think they would prefer people who weren't bombing their country with Israel.

Have you read history? Authoritarian places need external enemies to rally people behind so that the population will ignore whatever bullshit they do to exploit and abuse them. The only rule is "don't be the one to lose". As long as the theocracy does not surrender, they are winning.

Dude, they're continuing to kill school children. 911 was a one off that made everyone scared. Scared, yes. Bombing the shit out of your citizens, no.

Well to not get bombed, naturally. The uselessness of said idiots does not have an impact on the fact that the bombs are actively landing on Iran

It's entirely reasonable to believe that it is more likely that a new administration would take the chance to end the war than the current one is to make America incapable of bombing Iran on a reasonable timeline
Of course, that assumes that Iran thinks that this would work at all. They might make the full release of the files a condition to open the strait, but America would then just say "well we already released them so that won't work as a deal" and rely on the current administrations cultish supporters to believe that
The issue with this is that Iran wants to strait open eventually, its a huge financial gain.
Fuck that, trade it for Trump dead or alive
or alive
No no, let's keep it simple.
They can just hold the world’s supply of oil, ammonia and helium to ransom. Breaking an Iranian blockade by force would require a WW2-scale effort, with the US, Europe, China and the gulf states fighting alongside each other to take Tehran and impose some kind of regime change all parties find acceptable.
China and Russia would be fighting against the EU and US in that hypothetical wwiii scenario
Isnt china and Iran allies and already have agreements for discounted oil trades?
Unless Dickhead drops a nuke and threatens more. Which I wouldn't put past him.
Have you looked at a map? Do you know how far Hormuz is from Tehran?
That's the point. You would need to conquer the entire country to a point where firing off truck-launched ballistic missiles and Shahed drones isn't viable any more.

They already released most of the victims names, they can't really pretend they care about them anymore.
