And where has that gone now?

From all reports the regime has not lost control domestically, and internationally it is now emboldened - the US tried to get rid of them and has failed, and they have demonstrated their power to disrupt the region and much of the world's economy.

They come out of this looking stronger.

>Iranians danced in the streets when Khamenei was killed. And have felt hope for the first time in decades that they may change their government.

This is a dumb take, I will guarantee that more people will dance on the street if Trump, or Modi gets killed, doesn't mean it is righteous to do that.

One supreme leader replaced by another, even more hardline, supreme leader. Trump failed.
