And what of the Iranian people?
It’s hard to get news of what’s happening at present inside Iran, news you can trust. Here’s some encouraging reporting, though (the clip I’ve cued up is short):
Later he also says something I’ve been thinking for quite some time, which is that if the US finishes its part of the war, the Mossad will carry on inside Iran.
Plus, here’s a recent speech by the former Shah’s son (it’s also short), the Crown Prince:
I realize that our intervention may end with just the military and economic weakening of Iran. The people will somehow have to do the rest – and they either need arms to do it, or somehow the military needs to take on the IRGC and Basij.
Ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon announced tonight.

I’m not sure Hezbollah is entitled to a seat at the table anymore. Lebanon’s government may decide that, with Iran pretty much out of the picture, they can get rid of Hezbollah now.
However, the two are interwoven through so much of the Lebanese social and political structure, that may be a long haul.
Kind of like getting Leftists out of the US government.
The follow-up story is encouraging, although some people will not be happy with Trump “expanding” his “endless” warfare.
I would prefercthat Israel and America clean out the entirety of these terrorist operations while both countries still have forward momentum.

“… if the US finishes its part of the war, the Mossad will carry on inside Iran.”
I think I observed that way back at the beginning, either here or over at Ace’s. Trump may have to promise us sensitive Americans “no boots on the ground”, but Israel is less squeamish. And their boots are XL Shitkicker Specials!
A bit of a corrective;

“Lebanese crossing Litani River southwards, despite repeated warnings;
“Residents of southern Lebanon, together with Lebanese Army, rebuild bridges over Litani River, allowing mass return after Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir promised southern Lebanon would be a ‘kill zone.’“—

“IDF soldiers receive word of ceasefire – in enemy territory;
“IDF soldiers deep in Lebanon describe confusion regarding ceasefire as battles continue on the ground.”—

Ordinary Americans lack any “Need To Know” the blow-by-blow in Lebanon. I personally am sick and tired of blow-by- blow news of that part of the world. And there is no need to enhance the MSM’s anti-Israel (but not antisemitic! Choke, Gag, Choke) bias.
Either the Iranian people rise up and become the Boots on the Ground, or they’ll be ruled by others with guns willing to kill them.
The Prince isn’t yet calling for Iranians to get back in the streets. Probably wisely, with Shiite Arab Iraqis imported and ready to kill protesters.
More regime leaders need to be killed, more regime fighters need to be unpaid.
Worse before regime change & getting better.
