If the intent is to do harm, cluster munitions are an effective way to do that. That is why they were developed. Message is clear: "If we bleed, you bleed."

Wrong.
It is dishonest to artificially separate the nation from its leadership. You will also find a bountiful percentage of the IRGC who are quite anti American, and others.
Iran, collectively, is guided and led by the Mullah's, has been for nearly half of a century, and their continued position as regards the Great Satan and Death to America
has not changed. A characterization of
Iran Hates America is accurate.
(It is one of the great tragedy's of the 20th and 21st centurie that a path towards better relations has not been found. There have been many opportunities).
If, on the other hand, you suggest or assert that "many Iranians do not hate the US" you'd probably be right. (I'd at least guess that you are right).
