OK, I’m back from the mini-vacation, so let’s look at what’s been happening in Iran.
It’s already clear that two things we were told are untrue. Iran wasn’t dangerous to the US. It couldn’t retaliate beyond Bahrain, so it clearly has nothing bigger than that.
The second untruth is that citizens of Iran wanted a regime change. When Ukrainians wanted a regime change in 2013, there were millions in the streets in bitter winter cold. Iran has twice the population but there’s no evidence that citizens are mobilizing to remove the hated ayatollahs. I have seen no evidence that Iranians don’t love the ayatollahs. Whether they do or don’t shouldn’t be a concern of ours but such emphasis has been made on the point that I want to mention it.
In short, we don’t know what is really happening and what the play actually is. Tons of propaganda are being released by both pro- and anti-war sides. In both cases, the propaganda is clumsy and shows a definite lack of trying. This happens because we are so eager to believe whatever is convenient these days that we end up with the most primitive propagandists. We simply don’t merit too much of an effort.

The big silver lining here is no more Iranian Shahed drones or missiles from Iran to Russia. The Russians have lost yet another ally, how many has it been so far? Syria, Venezuela, Armenia, now Iran.
Their hardware is also performing atrociously against USA and NATO military equipment. None of this bodes well for Russia.

” more Iranian Shahed drones or missiles from Iran to Russia”
russia has been making its own shaheds for quite some time now. russia is on a war time economy ramping up weapon production of all kinds (another reason they don’t want peace because it’s the only thing keeping them going… a shift away would cause all sorts of problems.
It does show that russia is unwilling or unable to do anything for allies as if anyone didn’t know that already.
