Nope, you do not comprehend the strategy at all. I don't understand how you could write all that, without comprehending the situation.

The strategy, which Trump chose not to pursue, is the total destruction of Iran's energy and fuel infrastructure.

This strategy was used against Germany and Japan by destroying their industrial capacity; though to a lesser extent.

The allies did not target German electrical production, which was a massive strategic oversight. Post war analysis concluded that if the allies targeted <12 electrical transformer stations in 1943, it would have paralyzed German heavy industry within weeks. The war would have concluded a year earlier.

This strategy calls for precision targeting of Iran's electrical and fuel infrastructure.

Iran would be paralyzed without fuel and electricity. GDP would collapse by 90%.

It is not possible to run a modern economy without fuel or electricity. Communications are largely cut. Fuel will quickly run out. Shortages would rapidly ensue.

Protests would begin immediately, and the IRGC would be forced to divert resources to manage the chaos. During this period, the US would launch a ground invasion, and retrieve the buried nuclear material.

Iran would not be able to mount a coordinated response, and combat losses would be far lower than if the US mounted a traditional invasion.
