I mean, the control of the Iranian government over the public is kinda weak. The threat of force is what holds it together - especially after covid has severely damaged their system and economy. By "cutting off the head of the snake" so to speak (via destroying government buildings), the country's dictatorship could be forced into collapse. As such, it would probably only take a few well targeted rounds of shock and awe on Iranian government facilities to ensure complete victory.

yeah of course i dont deny the destructive power. i would imagine the u.s. could take just about any country in a day or two. who takes over in the vacuum is the worry.

Well, the good thing is that unlike Iraq, the US does have an alternative to the Iranian government. That is the son of the overthrown Shah, ex-crown prince Reza Pahlavi. Even though he would be a monarch, he plans to rule as a constitutional monarch - so once the first elections are held Iran will gain a system more like the UK or Japan.
