@mich You still need to resolve the remaining two answers to NO. Or are there any uncertainties left?

@mich resolves no to the open ones

Killing a senior military official

Does this have to be an Iranian official? Or does a leader of a proxy group count.

@Arky Must be an Iranian official.

Unfortunately this isn't covered by the answers.

"Biden has approved plans for multiday strikes in Iraq and Syria against multiple targets, including Iranian personnel and facilities, according to U.S. officials. But the response, expected to begin as soon as this weekend, will be “tiered,” mixing military actions with other steps that can be adjusted to signal that Washington doesn’t seek further escalation."

Sanctions

Does sanctions on Iraqis count, or does it have to be sanctions on Iranians?

Why not just decapitate the entire Iranian regime with simultaneous cruise missiles for all the important government buildings and all the private residences of all the senior officials? Serious question

@JonathanRay The ruling class in Iran is like 10000 people or smth.

@JonathanRay Out of the frying pan and into the fire
