I got to say, whatever my opinion of Iran, they’re really leveraging the few advantages they have very well. Between the Shahed drones, the threat to the desalination plants and essentially the complete shut off of oil and natural gas, there is nothing anyone can really do. You can’t defang Iran because those Shaheds are tiny and can be stored and launched from anywhere. You can’t send in an invasive ground force because that will result in tens of thousands of coalition deaths. You can’t bomb their cities because they don’t care about civilian deaths. This might end up actually solidifying the Islamic Republic then if you had just let events run their course.
