    Well it certainly would have meaning. Not likely a good outcome, of course.
    Ideally we could support the protesters/rebels somehow. The idea of threatening US military action is to put more pressure on the Iranian regime with the hope that they’ll collapse and run away. Won’t work tho because they’re religious / ideological and will fight to their deaths.

      No it won’t work to unseat the regime. They are still at war right now with the US for all intents and purposes, and as such are in a rally around the flag situation.

      It will work for the US and israel to restart hostilities with Iran however. Then Israel can distract issues and delay elections, and not admit their leaders made mistakes, for a while longer. In the US it’s Israel First as always.
