The Iranian leadership could easily be toppled. The country is really called Persia, the people are NOT Arabs,
and they hate their Arab leadership. The economy is in turmoil, the people in revolt, and Persian people all over the world want their beautiful nation to go home.
They have antiquated military technology, NOW, with Israel having the F35s they have complete control of the air, and can map the battlefield out with phased array radar, thus sending identification and targeting information to other weapon systems.

The Iranian army, like other Arab armies in the past, would not fight with commitment, as they do not support their government, and are splintered between factions.

When you play chess, which is war, you don't attack the pawns to win, you must defeat the leaders. The Iranian Arab leaders have no skin in the game. The initial F35 attacks should blind their radar, antimissile systms and target their leaders.

Bush's taking Sadaam out took the balance of power out of the region, and worse, he fired all Sadaam's soilders. So, they had all these highly trained, battle hardened men without jobs with weapons. It was easy for ISIS to recruit them. That's where ISIS came from, thank you Mr. Bush.

Right now, Saudi's and Israel's politics align and they may never again.

And, the Persian people would see their nation as liberated while protecting the world's oil supply. A threatened oil supply could cause worldwide economic disaster.

This is how I see it - an unwinnable proxy war against Iran. Here's the context from the article:

The Obama administration agreed to support what the Saudis called Operation Decisive Storm with considerable reluctance, seeing it as an unwinnable proxy war against Iran.
