I don't see the regime falling unless the Israelis have cut a deal with a large faction within it. Maybe the plan is simply to utterly trash the place, blow up all their military factories then declare victory and go home. The horse archer style of international interventions. :hmm:

It's a full on regional war now since Iran is shooting missiles into Bahrain, Quatar and UAE.

At least this time the US has a plan for handling the situation in the medium and long term. They wouldn't make the same mistake twice.

So, how are the Saudi oil fields doing? Looks like Alberta might have just solved its deficit problems.

Trump has decided he'd rather be feared if he can't be loved.

They do have a plan:

1. Collapse the Iranian regime for not paying tribute and because Bibi does.

2.???

3. Receive tribute from next regime

1. Start war, stay out of prison.

2. There's no second point.

The powerplant supplying Kharg Island was apparently bombed. So no foreign currency for the regime. Rumors the IRGC commander himself was killed plus the defense minister. This evil regime is so comically inept.

I don't know they've managed to kill the defence minister of a foreign power.

Two national leaders who need a war to stay out of prison, start a war. 

Or you can go with the stated reasons which are to destroy a nuclear capability that the orange one said was already destroyed, or the alternative reason which is to kill tens of thousands of Iranians because the Iranian government killed thousands of Iranians.

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

I have seen reported it as well:
