Personally? Hoping they finally ditch the asinine Colon Powell "You broke it, you bought it" model, and replace it with the "You FA, You FO. And if you FA again, you FO Harder" Doctrine of Don't Mess With America.
The latter served us well until 1945.

and after 1945, we had the marshall plan and rebuilt europe.
a iranian marshall plan is still far cheaper than letting them get back to the FA stage.
It worked with civilized nations.
How did nation-building work in Iraq and Afghanistan?
That sort of nonsense only makes sense to idiots who think you can grow corn faster by pulling on the cornstalks.
If you threaten, throw some punches, taunt people that you should ignore, and then find yourself in the gutter, with some stout boots working on your ribs, you can't expect the person you tried to bully to stop, help you out, and call an ambulance. That's where we are, and Iran is at the point its ribs are getting a workout.
An absolutely CRUCIAL point, Ase.
Building a nation is like building a house, you first have the bulldoze what's already there and build from a new foundation us. Our mistake since our successful nation building in Germany and Japan is we tried to keep part of the old nation especially the 6th century culture. And I use the word culture loosely.

Neutralization is all we need.
Screw this nation building BS. Bring our guys home, stop being the world's policeman to the tune of trillions of dollars and abuse from all sides. If someone messes with us, they get hammered, no proportionate response. The Pax Americana isn't viable for much longer, we should switch to FAFO instead.
Pax FAFO should have been the policy since 1992.
Mess with us, wake up in the gutter with all your teeth broken out, and walk with a permanent limp.
Do it twice, never wake up again.
Leave us alone, live in peace and harmony forever.
