The Bushehr plant risk (potential Iran strikes)

The International Atomic Energy Agency says it can confirm recent impacts of military strikes close to Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant, but adds that the plant itself was not damaged.
The UN atomic watchdog says that the confirmation was based on its independent analysis of new satellite imagery and detailed knowledge of the site, adding that one strike had hit only 75 meters (246 feet) from the site perimeter.
Last week, the agency said it had been informed by Iran about a projectile striking close to the premises of the Bushehr nuclear power plant.

Thankfully no radiation spikes detected so no harm done yet.
If the plant is attacked in such a manner that it causes radioactive fallout the consequences will be severe for Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE and Saudi Arabia because of the possibility of water contamination.
Hopefully we have the good sense to leave that off the list of potential targets.

Taking down transmission lines would probably be just as effective.

I'd worry more about the regime blowing it themselves when they are about to be overthrown as a final frick you to the people of Iran and everyone else in the region.

Well that's one of the final cards they could play is taking out desalination plants directly

Of course
And quicker to rebuild. The idea of attacking generation sources themselves has always been absurd. You can just take out transmission lines down stream and have the same outcome

What’s the time to repair transmission lines compared to replacing transformers, generators, steam turbines, and gas, oil, and coal fired power plants?

Neither is fast but transmission lines would seem to be significantly quicker to repair. You don't need to take out the entire run to cut power.

In the 80's I was tasked in The Hague with negotiating a settlement with Iranian revolutionaries.
The radical powers that be in Iran would rather die and have the country destroyed
than surrender...

That's not out of the question...

Your concern is noted

And go after the transformer/switchgear yards, I've got a project that has been put off due to transformers having a 70 week lead time.

So finally, you admit that you're the one to blame

This plant can easily be destroyed and have zero of the consequences you mentioned.
I'm not advocating for it's destruction. I'm simply saying it can be destroyed and none of those things have to happen.

That’s right. So hit the transformers and plants along with transmission lines and send them all back to the Stone Age.

I'm sure that will work out well for the region and promote western interests.

Short term, maybe not. Long term, absolutely. Total warfare, unconditional surrender. Period.

Carpet bomb the coastline and ANY boats on the water. Find missile launch sites.
Free up the strait.
Free up the strait.
