Quote:
President Donald Trump confirmed on Saturday afternoon Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead, claiming the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are seeking immunity from the U.S.Trump said he hopes the IRGC and police will "peacefully merge" with Iranian patriots to stabilize the country.
As it has already been alluded too, why would the IRGC and police simply merge peacefully with the population, they are despised and hated, they realise that their lives and that of their families are at risk, they will crack down to protect their own lives.
The only way you will ever change that situation would be boots on the ground, with the massive casualties that you would generate as you then enter Afghanistan 2.0
You simply have removed the top tier, and all it means is they will be replaced and by possibly even harder liners.
