There's actually no way you can defend against airstrikes because you're entirely a desert.
Now, let's go to the topography of Iran.
And Iran is all mountainous.
In fact, you can make the argument that Iran is a fortress.
And so the first thing is that Iran can choose to fight a war of attrition.
A war of attrition is a game of uncle.

A game of uncle is where we don't have enough power to destroy each other.
So what we're trying to do is we try to create pain points, leverage points to force you to submit, to cry uncle.

So because Iran is too large to
and that's 92 million people, it's impossible for the Americans and Israelis to destroy Iran.
So what you're trying to do instead is bomb enough targets
so that they recognize that resistance is futile and surrender.
That's the extent of the strategy.
