Its possibly a bit early to say, they're certainly as angry and remain committed to their ideology..
They've not been overwhelmed militarily just by bombs and missiles which was probably how they planned to respond to such an attack.. |

"Is Iran now less of a threat to the world that it was in January?
Yes or No ?"
Short answer: yes.
Their capability is degraded. Their appetite to cause damage will have moved from a strategic long-term high damage, to a short-term low damage. |

A very trite summary but probably totally incorrect.
Revenge is a dish best served cold. This misadventure will come to haunt the US and Israel for many years to come.
Trump and Netanyahoo will be long gone but their populations will pay the price. |

Let's see what happens outside the area.
Ive worked in the area for many, many years and waiting to return for a short stint and then its retirement time.
It will be interesting to get a feel for the place when I return.
Loved the place and people and sad to see what's happening.
No one can forsee the future but initially the Straights will be a good litmus test. |

Trite?
What a charming way to dismiss someone's opinion, before launching into one's own unfounded speculation.
It's factually correct that their current capability is degraded.
It's probable that their future capability will be limited.
It's almost certain that they will engage in low-to-mid level violence locally and globally in the near term.
It is speculation that the regime will both survive and grow to be more of a threat than their previous trajectory. |

No, because they currently control the Strait of Hormuz & are currently exercising that control.
No, because any Iranian sleeper cells are likely to wake up as a consequence of what is currently happening.
No, because even if Netanyahu gets his wet dream & the Islamic regime falls, it doesn’t necessarily mean US/Israel will get their hands on the enriched uranium. |

Quote from Iranian citizen: "I don't know anyone who was killed in the strikes. I know 22 people who were killed by the regime in January."
How soon the Trump haters have forgotten.  |

Let’s be clear: the Americans, Israelis aren't really interested in the plight of the Iranian people. They'd happily destroy the country almost beyond repair if it meant their hegemonic ch0kehold over the region was consolidated.
The US & Israel for example were happy enough with the Shah before the Islamic Revolution because he was a yes man, though a yes man who liked to imprison, torture & kill his political opponents courtesy of his secret police, set up with US & Israeli help.
Now I’m not suggesting the Shah was in the same league as the Mullahs in the absolute brutality league, but an angel he most certainly wasn’t. But the US & Israel were happy enough with him nevertheless.
So yes. Freedom & democracy in Iran. That’s what the US & Israel are fighting for in 2026 first & foremost!
Yeah, right.

Less!
Reason: The obvious! Degradation of arsenal, infrastructure and regime. Indiscriminate attacks on neighbouring countries will come back to haunt the Iranian regime, hopefully leaving it isolated enough to feel the impact of their actions.
I find it interesting that an Iranian military spokesperson gives a macho speech and many, including the media outlets drive that narrative hard.
What I have taken away from this conflict is cheerleader sidelining has elevated the propaganda machines to new heights.

It is quite breathtaking how the Iranian regime narrative is promoted while the US/Israeli one is treated with maximum septicism, and statements by the Gulf States supporting the action are largely ignored. |

Standard Western Left/Liberal self loathing. Par for the course nowadays.
Particularly when it comes to the US/Israel/Trump.
Any enemy of the West/US/Israel/Trump is the Western Liberal’s friend. If they are mass murderers/hang gays from cranes who cares. |
