  I wonder if it's one of those cases of military refusing to follow illegal orders.

  TBF, that applies more to invading Ukraine. Iran is in such a different level that it didn't even become a classical blunder. It has just been right-out impossible through most of history.

And killing the ones that didn’t let people run the dice again with a new one.
