They can threaten the world’s economy by blocking oil tankers. But their leadership and military have been smashed.

Even as the US engages in talks, more US soldiers are being brought to the region.

Israel and the US continue to bomb. Arab countries want the US to finish the job.

By closing the strait and bombing their neighbours, Iran has alienated many countries. US and Israeli bombings have greatly weakened the regime; and the Iranian people are so angry, that the regime might soon be overthrown.

Even if a ceasefire is reached, Iran has been so severely beaten, that (at least for now) they are no longer the threat that they were before the war.

The regime has changed. Whether it lasts a little bit longer, or dies now, it has been changed. It is no longer what it was, a mover and shaker that promoted terror with an axis of fire.

The fire has been mostly doused. The proxies have been walloped. And Iran’s regime has now changed, from a monstrous threat, to a decapitated weakling.

As we near the festival of Passover, when G-d miraculously saved the Jewish people and gave them the Torah, we are reminded that now too, the Almighty is miraculously saving Israel.

And very soon we will see the final Redemption, when evil will be eliminated, and peace will permeate the whole world.
