#6  Or maybe it's actually a slip of tongue. I've heard several people refer to them as 'the shias' or twelvers, and the syrians as 'those alawite'. It results from having too many sunni friends, I presume.

#2  I guess, it depends what goal or targets this admistration has on its plate.

If the objective is to make the "Regime or Government of Iran" a non entity, persona non grata, then don't refer to them at all officially.

If the objective is to make the military a target, without necessarily make the people under civilian control the target, then continue with this line of speech.

Continue to obfuscate your position by "thinly slicing the cheese", when refering to the target or objective goal. i.e. 'what the hell does this mean' statements or pronouncements.
