\- Their ballistic missile stock pile is decimated

\- Their Navy is decimated

\- Their Air defense and air bases are decimated

\- Their communication networks are decimated

\- Regime leadership has been killed and fractured

\- China and Russia showed they aren’t real allies

\- Their currency is worthless

\- They can’t import food

\- They can’t import medicine

\- Their running out drinking water

\- Their main revenue stream is offline

\- They have an ongoing inflationary crises

\- Their fresh off the largest anti-regime protest in history

\- And Lastly, it is in the interest of \*\*the entire world\*\* to stabilize the energy markets and end this conflict

I’m not denying this isn’t a shit show and strategic failure. But why is everyone acting like Iran holds all the cards here?
