Iran has been damaged badly and militarily degraded substantially. It has not however, been "oblitetated", "defanged" etc etc. It's military has not had 100% of its capability destroyed as we were told a few weeks ago.
As demonstrated after the ceasefire was announced, it retains the capability to strike Israel, its Gulf neighbours and the Strait.
It still has "friends" that will help it rearm and rebuild and those friends will be even more well established in the Gulf than they were before this "excursion".
The Regime is still in power, albeit with changes in leadership and a bunch of new Generals at the top .....Iran that is.
The world is not safer. I doubt the Gulf feels safer. The global economy is badly wounded and will take a long time to recover.
US standing in the world is greatly diminished.
