Ok, this is my experience from the last time I fought the Iranians at the last tenure of Obama.
They are an adversary, but they can be reached, if you YOURSELF have a high morale.
Persians are really into ethics. They talk about good thoughts, leads to good speech that leads to good actions.
So the moral part really means a lot to them.
They have had the belief, that the US is a corrupted and evil place.
Showing them that this is NOT the case, and really appreciating a more ethical stance is key.
Add to this, the Iranians have very good relations to the EU.
So treat them as a respected enemy, and you will have THEIR respect.
It’s all down to recognition. Persia is an ancient culture thad has spawned some of mankind’s most illustrious ideas and persons. Zoroastrianism, that is the ancient belief system of the Persians is a truly beautiful and positive set of ideas.
Respecting them for their culture is the beginning of fighting them. Because that is often the first mistake in a war, not understanding your enemy.
As the Chinese war philosopher Sun Tzu says; understand your enemy, and your war is almost won.
The Persians have very little understanding of us, but when they see our true face, war makes little sense.
G-d bless the will to make peace in the Middle East. May the US prevail, and the throne of David be erected.
