I don't get that argument at all. Americans felt that they were missing out on all the fun, so they decided to kill even more Iranians? Does anyone really believe that bombing cities saves lives?

Whether it will in this case i don't know.

But yes, i do think sometimes war can be a net positive for civilians over the alternative in the long term. Not often, but sometimes.

They’re not nuking Tehran, they’re dropping targeted bombs on government/military sites.

Get in touch with your local Iranian community. You’d be surprised how much they’re cheering the bombing on.

You might be surprised that people inside Tehran are shouting “get the mullahs out” and cheering us on.
