"VDH on Iranian options" Topic

I think Trump should and will pick the second. This one:

An alternative course is a riskier one that could involve greater casualties and Iranian missile and drone strikes against Israel and the Gulf states. It would begin with issuing a final one-week deadline for Iran to concede to U.S. demands to denuclearize, hand over all its enriched uranium, dismantle its remaining missile forces, cease subsidizing Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, and stop interfering with international traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

Otherwise, for a week or so, the U.S. would strike the remaining regime grandees who believe they are still in charge of the government, along with dual-use bridges, subterranean nuclear depots, power plants, island ports and docks, weapons arsenals and factories, and the remnants of the Iranian mosquito navy. It would then open the Strait of Hormuz, leave a guardian force to keep it navigable, declare victory, go home, and pivot to the economy.

The point would be to inflict enough damage on the Iranian theocracy and its appendages to end the current off-and-on war. Either such Iranian concessions or such destruction would humiliate the regime, neuter its military, and halt its nuclear aspirations for decades, leaving it ripe for internal uprising.

Because bombing worked so well the first time in ending the war?

No thought about Iran launching against oil infrastructure in the ME and what that would do to oil prices for a considerable time? No thought about what happens in the Bab-el Mandeb strait?
No explanation of how many targets need to be hit or why a single week would be long enough to strike all those targets? Are there even enough munitions in theatre to do so?
Apparently a regime that has lasted this long under assault will suddenly collapse because why exactly?
I get the feeling such vague thoughts expressed there is how Trump and Bibi started this mess.
