With precision guided munition and air superiority there is no need for indiscriminate nuclear bombs.

But Japan does go to show that: 1. Leadership change is not voluntary, even when faced with obvious military dominance.

2. requires horrific destruction

3. Can be good for the long term of the country.

Let’s not forget IRGC has a long list of atrocities and oppression to their name. Yes… yes… you might say the same of USA, but it is categorically different.

It isn't different. Much of Iran's conflicts can at least be seen as reactive. The USA and Israel love invading countries unprovoked and on naked lies. Their kill count in illegal and immoral wars far exceeds anyone else. If we want to go that route, just don't, because by that token the entirety of South America must nuke the USA several hundred times.

Israel in any case isn't much better. Random Mileikowskis and Androvich's claiming ancient levantine connections and killing and stealing land over this nonsense.
