Iran overplayed their hand. Their strategy relied on proxies in Hamas and Hezbollah posing enough of a threat to Israel that the latter was deterred from striking Iran itself. But Oct 7 provoked such an overwhelming response that Hamas and Hezbollah will be crippled for years. Now that Iran can't strike at Israel from Gaza or Lebanon anymore, and Israel has a compliant partner in Washington, the gloves have come off against Iran itself.
