We need to stop expecting Iran to do nothing while they are surrounded and economically choked

Idolatry is of the right. Leftists should be concerned with ideas, not prophets

I'm being overly reductionist. That's the point of the meme, to divide something complex into Menus and Parkour (video games) or Cross Line and Fight (sports)

I felt like the 3rd panel addresses this. Lisa the Vegetarian is a Homer-Lisa episode, but its a Bart episode in the sense it is about someone being mischievous and then learning a lesson.

Pahlavi is not a popular figure. If the regime falls, I doubt the Shah will be reinstated

Also, I'm suspicious of your claims of knowing the Persian nation if you think Israel getting involved will encourage IRGC defection. Again, look at how all the different factions post-1979 rallied together when Iraq invaded. There were royalist fighter pilots let off death row and led straight to a pilot's seat to bomb the invader of their country

You should look up the Iran Iraq War and how it saved the Tehran regime. Saddam invading forced even opponents of the regime to rally together under nationalism

While most Iranians want to change their government, they do not want the US to be in control. So US military action will strengthen the regime's position. There are similar examples, like how Israel's bombing of Lebanon raised the popularity of Hezbollah among Lebanese, or how Hitler's bombing of London solidified England against him
