No boots on the ground... yet. We don't know how Iran reacts next. To their leadership, this is a pretty serious existential threat.


They don't have much options. They have only Revolutionary Guard for them. Army hates the Guard. The Guard isn't really a fighting force, it can only launch missiles and beat unarmed protesters. Once it runs out of missiles (with a lot of missiles lost to the bombing), it is done.

I expect a full no-fly zone enforcement, and with that the regime's domestic authority and power will quickly go down the drain.
