Actually many Dem leaders advocated for the same. You can tell Dems are cult by the way they worshipped their leaders for the below, but condemn Trump for same thing. Unable to take a position other than TDS.

It seems to me like the Trump Administration thought that they could tip the country into revolution if they could take out Iranian leadership. Unfortunately they failed to realize that Iran is not a regular dictatorship. It’s the military and executive order of a religious institution. And religious institutions have plenty of people who are involved in the bureaucracy who can step up and take the reins of power as necessary. They are also filled with true believers.
As each day passes without a resolution it becomes painfully clear that the administration took a giant gamble on their own hubris and the supposed weakness of the Iranian religious regime and now they don’t have a clue about how to get us out of this debacle.
Let’s all hope that enough pressure can be applied to bring the Iranians to heel without further escalation of the conflict.
