Taking out the political leadership (Ayatollah?) or the heads of the Secret Police - Savak - might be one option. It would be largely symbolic but it would at least be a show of support for the protesters. We know we can find them due to Israeli intelligence.

Nice to see the GOP has become the Assassination Party. What could possibly go wrong when such things are normalized???

It's kind of a bipartisan thing we do. Obama disappeared at least 45 foreign terrorist leaders. Biden took out Al-Zawahiri and others.

Tell me how many of those 45 were heads of state? I'm not going to dispute your figure even though I doubt it's correct because it doesn't matter. If you can't see the difference between a foreign terrorist and a head of state then you're dumber than I thought.
 
Still illegal too.

W started it with about 40 drone strikes in places like Pakistan.

Obama escalated it dramatically with about 480 drone strikes in countries we weren't technically at war with although tightened the rules on bilateral damage from the drone strikes. He got Bin Laden and several other highly placed Al Qaeda terrorists. He also assassinated two American citizens without due process. The only leader to do that.

Trump One scaled the targeted killings way back, but did assassinate probably the highest profile person outside of Bin Laden: the number two in Iran.

Biden scaled it back even further. He's done the most to get us back to a pre-9/11 stance on targeted killings.

Trump Two has somewhat continued Biden's scale of killings but is certainly pretty bellicose about his threats and expanded it to what some would consider more run of the mill criminals on boats in the Caribbean versus terrorists in Somalia.

Military and secret police officials, as well as other political officials, obviously aren’t heads of state.

Well, they are within the ambit of a head of state. Would you think it OK if a foreign country decided not to go after Trump but decided to take out our Treasury Secretary instead?

The distinction is terrorists -- operating outside of a lawful state structure -- versus high ranking government officials. Surely you can grasp that.

No but the US is not a terrorist regime unlike the Islamic Republic. Plus the US is not murdering 20k+ protestors in cold blood.
