Imagine being a Russian and looking at how an actual superpower deals with "stuff" with their allies?

Less than 24 hours in, zero actual casualties. Iranian leadership: wiped the fuck out.

Meanwhile, you are stuck in mud with failing to conquer a former republic 4 years in...

There is no reason why Khamenei wouldn't release a speech or some other proof of life if he was still alive; showing the faithful that the supreme leader is still standing would have a powerful morale effect on both regime loyalists and attacking Americans. The fact that the regime has not done this is almost certainly because they cannot.

Could be worse than dead.
Alive, fine, no problem.
Dead, you have a quick and vicious fight for succession then he's a martyr to Satan.
If he had a stroke but is still alive, which considering his age ain't exactly unlikely.
... can't remove him cause his loyalists will go apeshit and they've got most of the weapons.
Can't stick him on TV because persians will tolerate a lot from their religious leaders but mental incapacity is not one of them.
the whole power structure is basically fucked until one of his family digs out a pillow and does what is neeeded.

Where it doesn't work is just aimlessly bombing enemy civilian targets and civil infrastructure and just hoping they'll surrender or give up.

Strategic assassinations and/or disruption of the enemies means of fighting war can be effective when done right.
 
Oops not my libtard friend trying to claim the Ayatollah's (probable) death is actually a bad thing*

*In fairness, with the information we currently have, it doesn't seem like massive regime change will happen. But other happenings may occur in the coming days
 
I eagerly await the Turd World seethe that their retarded multi-polar world theory continues to wither and die. The American century will continue, you low-IQ brownoid faggots.
