There is so much to say, sing and praise (and to rebut the pessimists), but here is a point I haven’t heard from others.
Look, all the other mini-wars in the last several years were against Arabs, whose religious ideology is an added ingredient (explained here). Even the Houthis are ethnically Arab. It’s all about Yishmael (including typology) being dispossessed by Avraham, as I explained, but Persia is not Ishmaelite.
This brief war, by contrast, was a “religious war”, with a nation that bears no ethnic animosity toward the Jews; we didn’t conquer their land, etc. (setting aside such crimes as training SAVAK, their secret police). Virtually all of the “Islamic Republic” (excepting 2%) aren’t Arab at all. They care nothing for their tool, the “Palestinians”.
Their rulers hate the Chosen People because we represent a living reminder of the folly and failure of Mohamedanism itself. Their regional ambitions are religious, too. It’s all in their State’s name, monstrously misidentified as a “theocracy”. Ergo, in my opinion, the Iranian defeat (even if partial) is far more significant than the other victories (even if not their capstone).
Baruch Hashem!
