Leaving aside the fantasy of a regime change, what about a more limited air strike campaign on key Iranian targets: air fields, ballistic missile / key logisitical nodes and depots, and important facilities in the supply chain that produces shahed drones/missiles for russia? Something like an opening salvo of a desert storm without a follow up ground incursion.

There’s probably a conversation to be had about that, but honestly I think the focus should be retaliatory attacks on the militants in Iraq and Syria with a more dedicated campaign against the Houthis going after their means of targeting shipping.

I don’t think we should be overly escalatory tbh
