Unfortunately, experience shows that China doesn't have the courage to do this.
What is it with people who conflate courage with doing whatever is emotionally satisfying? Do you think this is a good time to take off all the masks and start WWIII? Is our military developed to the point where it's time to go in guns blazing in the middle east or do we could use more time to develop an advantage?

Given how eager they were to take him out, I suspect the succession candidates include multiple traitors.
Last time they killed the premiere, they got a pro west person to replace. If they actually manage to subvert the leadership through war, then it is over for Iran. Who cares what military targets exchanged, those are inconsequential. Israel's political maneuver is strong, it is the reason why it is powerful, not military itself.

Kinda hard to do that when they have their back to the wall.

You'd think the US would've learned by now that how things usually go when they're in the mindset of fighting to accomplish political objectives, while their opponent is under the mindset that its all or nothing.

The IRGC is pretty much a guerilla force with rockets and we see them acting with autonomy at this point striking wherever. Did the US and Israel not think that by going out of their way to target the leadership for the sake of fulfilling the decaptitating a snake analogy, that they've eliminated anybody who could've ordered the IRGC to stand down? Well I gander to say even if there are those left alive in the Iranian leadership who want to, the IRGC grunts ain't getting the memo and good for them.

Hezbollah and Houthis need their own missile production facilities. They cannot rely on Iran weapon shipment by ship.

If Hamas didn't do the mass killing several years ago, today's timeline events would be much different. It is possible Israel wouldn't go berserk on them. It eventually will but at a later time.

There's not much point talking about ifs back then. Rather those guys should have prepared for a scenario like today happening.

Sometimes a lot of the war is planned and decided long before the war even begins.

Looks like Trump is ready to taco but the Iranians decide to fight on. If this turns out to be true I'm having a new respect for the Iranians, maybe they're not all cucks after all

what choice do they have. By launching the attack when Iranian just made a major concession means the enemy cannot be trusted, and they are not merely interesting in concession but total capitulation. In another word, the war has become existential for Iran. That's why Iran has attacked US presence and interest in nominiannly neutral Arab nations -- they could not afford to observe diplomatic niceties.

This will become a war of attrition until one side cannot sustain war efforts anymore. US has drawn down ammunition stock for this and Ukraine, and due to Chinese embargo to US military industrial complex means any expended stocks cannot be replenished easily. Iran also has land supply route (to China and Russia) through central Asia and Pakistan that is immune to naval interdiction. Iran does have a chance.

They can't produce everything from A to Z; the supply chain will still depend to some extent on supplies from Iran...

So, very little change can be expected.
