History shows that a bombing campaign tends to galvanise a population.

The one exception I can think of is the 1999 NATO campaign against Serbia/Yugoslavia.

Israel didn't invade Syria, aside from a few km of neutral zone, yet the Syrian regime fell and this was literally months ago but the author (and you) just ignores that. Yes, there were people on the ground, but they were Syrians. No one is suggesting the IDF will invade Iran, in fact that's his point.

The author isn't making a prediction so much as saying what he wishes will happen.

Syria had been in a state of civil war for years. Iran has not been, who will be the Iranian equivalent to those who took power in Syria? Who is in a position to depose the current government and military powers (or takeover if those individuals in power are killed or forced to flee) in Iran?

The Crime Minister is insane. Give it another month and watch what new threats he will find to protect the universe from. Its a waste of time trying to find rationale in what comes out of the mind of the mentally ill.
