Strong recommend for this great interview by Mishal Husain with Vali Nasr, the Iranian-American scholar. www.bloomberg.com/features/202...
Question: There have been some searing images in the past two weeks. The school girls who it appears were killed by Tomahawk missiles, which are used by the United States. The destruction of heritage sites [and the] bombing of a city like Isfahan.

Answer: Yes. Those things will turn the Iranian public hugely against the United States and Israel. It convinces the population that the US and Israel are not liberators and are out to destroy Iran. It’s not about the regime, it’s about Iran.
