They thought once the Khomeni was got rid of the "opposition" in Iran would take over.
They believed all those fake AI videos that Israel produced.
There is no "opposition" in Iran, outside of their own political system. Almost no one remembers the Shah, and those who do don't remember him fondly.
Just go home and put up a mission accomplished banner and stop worrying with Israel

With diligent planning and help from our allies and a clear objective victory from the air is achievable.
We just had none of those things.

This has literally never been true, and there are no examples of this ever happening in history, besides maybe the only use of atomic bombs, on Japan. Pure delusion.
Iraq 1991.
ETA: Ground pounders big mad.
Lol. Won via ground assault.
After air superiority was obtained.
True, and I'm not saying air superiority is not useful or critical, but it alone does not and cannot win a war. Your own example proves that wrong.
Yeah but even the ground war needed a clear plan, coordination with allies, and the other stuff I’m too drunk/high to remember.
Certainly can't disagree with that
What you are failing to see is that air superiority is a component, not THE ONLY COMPONENT necessary.
Help to do what, invade another country? Iraq and Afghanistan wasn't enough?
Iran in particular is designed as a state that can operate like terrorist cells. You can't just destroy a central body and the government goes away.
And again, why invade? Iran was on the brink of revolution. It would have sorted itself out. But now, when the strictness of war is ar play?
Iran was on the brink of revolution, it’s state under financial pressure. It would have sorted itself out
Starving a country via sanctions has never resulted in a revolution, except maybe South Africa. While the stated purpose is to cause enough misery within the population they overthrow the government, the real purpose is to weaken it so it can't defend its people when we're ready to bomb them.
Yeah, obviously.
Before all of that, you need to define your objectives, otherwise anything or nothing can be a 'victory'.
Not the U.S. - the retard pushing the buttons. Be better off if he was pushing daisies..
