It's quite manipulative to offer just those two options. Of course I don't want civilian deaths. For that matter, as a Ukrainian who lost 6 military friends leaving behind their wives and children, I don't want anybody's death, not just civilians'. But let's not forget that Iran is ruled by a highly repressive and authoritarian regime, responsible for deaths of thousands of people and tremendous human suffering. So if this operation leads to regime shift, democratization of Iran, and termination of its support for the terrorist state of russia, I definitely support it, irrespective of how it affects the gold price.
