Ben quoted Jared Kushner's remarks about the demise of the Hezbollah leader. Kushner encourages Israel to keep going after Hezbollah. Ben said Iran has been shown to be something of a paper tiger over the course of the past month. I agree with that, but I think Iran still has a lot of tricks up its sleeves.

Iran has the ability to fight a gorilla war, but Khamenei and the rest of the Iranian government would be wiped out in the process. The real problem ultimately would be the same issue we saw in Iraq and Libya when Hussein and Gaddafi were killed and their governments absolved. A giant vacuum was created leading to a terror insurgency that creates chaos in the region ultimately leading to a higher risk to the United States and Israel.

What has been exposed this past week is that Iran’s only strength was its hold on its proxies. Now that Israel’s has shown such superiority in literally every aspect of war fighting and systematically eliminating said proxies Iran is left exposed and weak.

It’s tough to tell what Irans next move will be, but what is for sure is that Israel is done messing around. The next few months should be interesting.
