In this war Iran showed that Israel iron dome is actually a sieve dome, with many vulnerabilities. Israel was also wrecked badly with many people fleeing. Iran also showed that both Israel and US attacks against nuclear sites were ineffective. Iran was also able to legally (in regards to international law) withdraw from the NPT.

This is an overall victory for Iran, even if Trump was able to save face.

I now think what is the balance of this war politically for Netanyahu's faction. They started the war to avoid a political crisis. If they are able to stay in power that will also be bad news for the region.

I noticed a number of Israeli ministers being unhappy with the ceasefire and the destruction of their nazi paradise. Smotrich for one. I think the dissatisfaction of the outcome will bubble up quickly in the next few days. The illusion of victory they're trying to project is extremely thin. I wouldn't be surprised if Netanyahu gets couped. I should go check on how Ben-Gvir's cope is holding up...
