But the flip side is that it's a little early to declare the entire thing a success and assume we've ended the threat of Iran to the Free World, as LM was doing. No argument that the outcome of war is always uncertain. But right now, the likelihood is that the Iranian regime is going to come out in charge at the end as long as we don't have a full ground invasion. They've had decades to protect themselves against this exact scenario, and they're very well positioned to survive it:

No, the current regime is toast. The IRGC is running the show right now, and if we were to stop bombing tomorrow they'd be the de facto rulers of Iran as the mullahs are effectively gone.

Is that a good thing? Likely not; the IRGC is little more than a terrorist army with the power of a nation-state behind them.
