if nothing else, the Iranian appetite and capacity to prop up Palestinian terror proxies will be essentially eliminated, a huge win.
Why do you think this? To me, it will only make it worse.
You think Iran will have resources left after this? They're expending everything they have, and their capacity to rebuild and resupply is being eliminated. They'll have no financial resources left with which to purchase weapons from others. They're done for militarily, industrially, and economically, and consequently their patronage of regional terrorists is at an end. Those groups - Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, have no other patrons waiting in the wings to prop them up. Iranian patronage of those groups is no small factor in what is happening now, along with the need to eliminate the potential of a future nuclear-armed Iran.
