US could leverage Iranian - American soldiers for Iran operations

This article is an opinion piece proposing that the US military form specialized units staffed by Iranian-American service members with Farsi proficiency to conduct potential operations against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Basij in Iranian cities, arguing that cultural knowledge and personal opposition to the Iranian regime would enhance operational effectiveness in urban environments. The author cites historical precedents from World War II ethnic recruitment and estimates 500,000–750,000 Iranian-Americans in the US, claiming such units would reduce collateral damage, improve intelligence gathering, and leverage America's "multicultural strength" against what he characterizes as a theocratic regime.
