I do not know enough detail about the overall political picture in Iran beyond the current leadership to seriously propose anything.
I asked my question because I read about a restive Iranian population that does not necessarily support their government.
Realizing that such an attack could unify the population against the United States or Israel, I had wondered if such an attack would create a leadership vacuum that would allow the resistance groups to gain traction and perhaps allow a more moderate government to step in.
I have tried to think of something that would have a higher probability of success than attacking the hardened underground facilities, be unexpected, and accomplish more than simply serve as a stalling tactic.
I figured an attack on the Nuke facilities would likely tick off the Iranian people anyway, especially with the current Theocracy likely using it as political propaganda to whip the population up. Basically, if the US or Israelis are going to have to do something, why not go big?
You gents have made it clear that the blowback would exceed the benefit of removing the theocracy that is in place.
Thank you for the replies. I have said it before. Whatever the subject is, you guys know far more about it than I do. I always learn a lot from this site. By asking what seems like a dumb question to you, I learn.
