[quote=zehyani]Why are we fighting in Iran?[/quote
I have no "inside" information, so the rest is based on decades of dabbling in military history & military technology.
The airstrikes are intended to:
wipe out any nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, weapons sites & production sites
destroy military & political command, control & communication sites and equipment
destroy any remaining surface to surface and surface to air missiles and production sites
kill senior political, military & Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps leadership to disrupt Iran and to help prevent the further murder of those rising against the current government.
effect regime change
degrade Hamas and Hezbollah
And maybe bring a little peace to the Middle East
