Press x doubt.

They did it with Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam. They will definitely do it again if they see a chance to remove the Iranian regime and replace it with their own.

Do you think removing the Ayatollahs would make things better or worse for the Iranian people?

People thought removing the saddam regime would make things better. Turns out it didn't and it cost the lives of 1 million. This isn't a game you just play.

Of course, take a look at Libya too.

The Iranians would do better without the IR. You won't bomb them into revolting however.

Roll out white saviours! The ends don’t justify the means, and all this has happened before, with disastrous results

Worse, unquestionably.
