I get why US & Israel are striking critical infrastructure such as water and electricity in Iran, it suggests two things:

Just a quick example. Over 60% of the Australian public believe mining companies don't pay their fair share and have done so for 30 years that I know of.

What those companies want you to do is to continue to complain about it instead of devising how. They bait you into it - just like tobacco did.

When do we want it? <whenevs>

Most people already know what they want. When they get it depends on the "How"?

Be a "How?" person.

It's the only part of politics that ever changes anything. The rest is flag waving, and your opponents want you stuck waving flags.

How the Iran war could create a ‘fertiliser shock’ – an often ignored global risk to food prices and farming Without this form of fertiliser, crops will not produce yields on which the world’s population depends, leaving people starving.

Pete Hegseth Treats Fallen American Soldiers as a PR Problem His use of the Iran war dead to attack the media was disgraceful.
