I don't know why I didn't realize this before now, but this really starting to feel like just the Americans version of the vaunted "3 day special military operation".

That was the Special Maduro Operation. But this is turning out like the Russian version for sure.

The Persian diaspora numbers about 4 million, apparently.

We should train them up to go back and seize their country.

If they aren't too busy looking after all the riches they siphoned out of the country when they headed for Paris etc in 1979

The challenge is going to be getting arms and armed Iranians into the country. It easy to say "go back and fight" But if going back means your arrested at the airport, then shot, you not achieved much.

But form a Iranian legion and use them to start taking and holding the islands would be a start.
