Hot take but I don't think they would have. Democrats are more about wars that go under the radar and can be spun as 'humanitarian'. Most libs didn't even think about Libya.
Iran has always been the 'one day' war, meaning most administrations would talk about it but wouldn't dare touch that hornets nest.
Trump 2 represents a distinct shift in US policy. There are no voices in the administration that are tethered to reality.
You have to imagine the context though - which is presumably the Israelis saying "we are definitely going to topple the mullahs fyi". Maybe the Dems would have let Iran strike first and would currently be riding a wave of nationalist fervor?
