Ordinarily I would agree....using attack to flush and expose the opposing military and factions "should" work.
Iran is not a normal regime led military / factioned force.
If that was the case, the attacks upon Iran and Iranian interests that began on February 28, 2026 would have flushed and exposed every inch of their military and factional support in the region. It didn't, it hasn't and it probably won't.
The regime is like Medusa's hairdo.......multiple headed snakes that pop up everywhere. No single tactical target, always on the move, creative and tenacious in the extreme. Cut one head off and two more grow in its place. Attack Iran and Iran goes after the neighbours...not the attacker. The various factions associated with the regime hide in plain sight, they are born into desert guerilla warfare, they move like nomads, dress like them too. Their ingenuity is boundless, their faith in their regime leaders is endless and unbreakable
During the peak times of ISIS, A-Qaeda etc there were small militia groups who fought those groups, in the process they learnt the tactics of those groups. Those militia are now backed by Iran (I posted some of their group names earlier in this thread). They roam freely across Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia. They attack neighbours in the name of their Iranian brothers. They are virtually impossible to hunt down.....they learnt how to vanish into thin air from terror cells, afterall.
Iran and its multiple factions have infiltrated everywhere.....the regime is exceptionally strong and it is exceptionally manipulative. You can bomb them to Kingdom come and they will not surrender one iota, they just get stronger and their cells around the world will create havoc on the word of the regime.
You cannot compartmentalise the Iranian regime like you can perhaps a western enemy...every Iranian regime leader who is killed is replaced before the blood is dry. It is impossible to defeat a regime like Iran using normal strategy and tactics...you have to think like them, behave like them and live their way and only then can you maybe beat them at their own game. Even if the US finally reaches the end of their teather with Iran and drops a nuclear bomb on the country, the regime will not be dead.....the cells around the world will see to that. It is why Iran have been largely left alone for all of these years....taking them on is far too risky and costly in human lives.
The other Gulf States are not friendly with Iran at all....they tolerate Iran cos they know and understand that to attack Iran would bring immense suffering to those Gulf States and the wider world, in lost lives and financial losses that would far outstrip the costs already paid by the Gulf States and the world during the recent hostilities.
