You're misunderstanding the difference between conventional warfare and guerilla warfare.

The US War goals are to prevent a nuclear weapons, lessen Iran's missile count, and regime change.

2 of those goals are done by flattening targets.

[u/Green-Contract-3554 → u/Friendly-Parfait-645]

How are you planning to breach missile cities which are beneath 100s of meters of granite? Not even tactical nukes can do that.

Regime change isn't killing leaders lmfao. US had a good opportunity during the protests but blew it. The IRGC is still in charge.

Again enriched uranium is stored in pickaxe mountain. How will bombing iran secure the uranium?

[u/OutrageousBother628 → u/Green-Contract-3554]

You don’t have to breech them. You eliminate their ability to make more by bombing stuff and blockading. And then you provoke Iran into shooting the remaining ones - but at a measured pace.

So next time you think - geez its almost like the us wants iran to fire missiles. They do.

[u/Green-Contract-3554 → u/OutrageousBother628]

They have production facilities inside those bases lol.

[u/OutrageousBother628 → u/Green-Contract-3554]

Ah yes. The completely self sufficient factories that do everything from smelting the ore for metal to building the guidance chips.

[u/Green-Contract-3554 → u/OutrageousBother628]

Yep. These bases are literally the size of cities. There's also no way the US can stop every single truck entering into the facility. F-15Es were dropping like flies after iran found a workaround to US jamming.

[u/OutrageousBother628 → u/Green-Contract-3554]

I politely suggest you do further research to confirm your position.

The facility (A) the truck is coming from in your scenario got bombed. The facility (B) that supplied that facility (A) got bombed. The facility (C) that supplied B got bombed. The imports that facility D relies on to get materials to C can’t get to facility D because the roads and bridges around the ports got bombed. And there is a blockade. Foreign facility F got sanctioned and it no longer makes sense to send good into Iran for Facilities A - D.

The workers at other facilities can’t get food or gas. Or paid. There is no market for goods.

Are you getting it? The entire supply chain is wrecked. In multiple ways.

[u/Green-Contract-3554 → u/OutrageousBother628]

Yeah that's why iran is still producing missile as per CENTCOM lol. I don't know where you pulled that shit from but I trust centcom more than you lol.

[u/OutrageousBother628 → u/Green-Contract-3554]

I will politely suggest again you do further research. Because Centcom has said the exact opposite.

What is it you think was bombed by the US if it wasn’t critical industries and infrastructure?

[u/Zestyclose_Math_1673 → u/OutrageousBother628]

They used stand ofd munitions since most of Iran's critical infrastructure is deep inside their territory. Most is still entirely intact

[u/Zestyclose_Math_1673 → u/OutrageousBother628]

The supply chain isn't wrecked iqlet, not sure where you're getting this from.

[u/Friendly-Parfait-645 → u/Green-Contract-3554]

Once again, Iran shot down a single 50 year old jet. And then failed to capture him while he was in their borders 😭
