Sure we can. And the people of Iran want us to liberate them. They tried to overthrow the mullahs themselves until Obama left them out to dry.It seems you guys want to discuss a novel by starting in the middle. Let's start at the beginning. Why would Iran ever hate us? And if their hate is based on our meddling, maybe if we stop meddling they wouldn't hate us anymore?
Iran didn't come out the womb hating America. Before we created the spark that led to the Islamic revolution they were like any other country. They just wanted peace and prosperity. Then our government decided to topple their democratically elected secular government because they wouldn’t let British Petroleum steal their oil. So we installed a dictator who the people hated so much they turned to Islamic fundamentalism.
Once again Iran didn't come out the womb screaming "Death to America". We created that hate and resentment in them because of our actions. And now all we're doing is adding to that bad blood by continuing to attack them. At some point you can't blame someone for defending themselves after you keep starting the fight.
And we still owe them for this

We haven’t forgotten
