Their mutual assured destruction threat was neutralized in the span of 2 years by dragging their proxies into a war of attrition where they timidly launched a few missiles here and there and at every launch revealed a new location to be pummeled from the air. This is what happened to hezbollah.
Irans dogma was based on the threat of a high throughput coordinated strike wirh it's proxies that would've rendered the Israeli air defenses unusable and opened the way for hits against electrical grids airbases and dimona.
It was not fine tuned for a war of attrition where a few rockets are fired each dsy resulting in the loss of entire hangars filled with supplies from hezbos following to each strike.
Houtis weren't even factored into the equation of a conflict with Israeli initially l, they were there to put in check gulf monarchies instead.
Israel beat them in detail as the rest sat and watched fearing the american, British and French involvement.
Iran wasn't weakened by the strikes in Natanz, it was hit the hardest in the exchange that happened a few months ago when Israel hit their missile production facilities and stockpiles.
What funniest is that they'll get what they dreaded the most either way. British, French and US assets are dealing with the logistics to set up the next stage of that war.
