Gotta go for Iran's jugular
... Iran is a theocratic monarchy controlled by a single Islamic mullah, titled ayatollah. There are also 80+ other high mullahs who elect that leader, though they basically select a son of the previous ayatollah.
Iran's center of gravity is the ayatollah and the higher level mullahs, plus all the other Iranian mullahs to a lesser degree.
... they create and sustain the fanaticism of Shia Islam's efforts to obey Allah’s command to conquer all of humanity and convert everyone to Islam...
Therefore, we must inflict a horrific, humiliating defeat on Iran's mullahs to end, for hopefully many decades, their power in Iran.
The only way to do this is to eliminate all of the top Iranian mullahs we can find...
The ayatollah and leading mullahs live in the holy city of Qom. It’s also the location of the most important madrassas (religious training colleges), and many venerable holy sites.
... Qom must be a major target for destruction because it houses the religious leaders who are Iran's center of gravity...
Unfortunately, Western fantasies of fair play probably prohibit President Trump from doing the necessary killing.
... capturing, and keeping, Kharg Island, which is Iran’s petroleum export facility, is necessary....
This gives America an essential economic stranglehold on the hopes of Iran's mullahs to dominate the Persian Gulf nations and to destroy Israel.
