He really thought, this would be over fast. A decapitation attack, Khameni dies and he's the hero of the people. Supressed Iranians start a civil war he supports, everybody congratulates him on the good job and everybody forgets he diddled kids. That didn't work as even the oppressed Iranians really hate the US and will not work with him. So he now has to prep the Kurds in Iraq to fight his war and needs some other BS excuse for an invation.
Meanwhile his bud Bibi is having the time of his life bombing schools & hospitals.
They can hate the Ayatollah AND the US at the same time.
You know what people also historically hate? People coming and making changes for them for their own good.
Every war ever started was going to end in a quick, overwhelming victory that would solve all their problems.
