Think about just how bad it’s been for Iran since Oct 7 Isreal attack

1. Hamas is in shambles and its leadership has been eliminated. A proxy of Iran
2. Hezbollah entire leadership has been eliminated, infrastructure destroyed, thousands of soldiers killed and mentally have been set back years. Oh they agreed to move back beyond the river. An Iran proxy
3 trump has been elected, an Iran hawk and the appeasement strategy of Biden is gone. They immediately cancelled reprisals attacks versus Israel
4. Syria rebels now look to have Damascus surrounded and Iran reportedly have negotiated their militias safe retreat with the rebels. Iran caught flat footed and in retreat. There direct access to Lebonon is gone.

Iran made major miscalculation. They thought Israel would roll over or let this go? Jokes on them
