1 What has changed behind the scenes that would make these strikes more successful than the last round of attacks:
Better intelligence on the location of IRGC leadership?
A national uprising against the IRGC?
Better targeting intelligence on previously unhit targets?

2 I think we better encourage bunkering-in and prepping, there are far too many elements of modern civilian American life that have internet vulnerability to hacking, looting, erasure and manipulation. Militarily we will crush them and hopefully bring about regime change, but in the interim they will likely be able to cause significant, painful and disruptive attacks on less well defended systems and record keeping.
Hope I'm just wrong and out-of-date on things...
