Iran has been twiddling their thumbs for more than 2 years. Iran-aligned Iraqi militias should have drone-struck Bahrain's oil and gas facilities in the early stages of the conflict. The regional and global repercussions and fallout, including rising energy costs and disruptions, would have and will bring global pressure to stop Israel’s madness.

Lebanese Hezbollah played it safe and paid a heavy price. Iran played it safe and has been paying a heavy price on multiple fronts. Yemeni Ansarullah ("Houthis") fought with full force and, consequently, have been the most resilient and successful.

The above is a comment that YouTube refuses to let me post, no matter the video.

I've also long advocated that Iran needs to target Jordan's air-defense systems directly. They should also blow up some of the walls partitioning the West Bank from it. If Jordan fights back, Iran should target their powerplants and pipelines. If Egypt fights back, Iran and Ansarullah should do the same to them.

Egypt and Jordan are the guard dogs of Israel. They've been colluding with it and the US since the 1970s. Along with Israel, they're collectively the top three recipients of US foreign aid.

Iran's strategy in recent years has varied widely from its strategies during the 1980s, and that's why it's been marred by set-backs. Iran's "Strategy of Patience" today is a complete bastardization of the version from the period of the Iran–Iraq War (1980–88) and of the Lebanese Civil War (1975–90) which it entered in 1982 and helped to form Hezbollah in 1984.

You can't let the enemy dictate the parameters and theaters of warfare, but that's exactly what Iran has let Israel and its allies do. Iran has been playing their game but Zionists set the rules of said game. The lack of repercussions and fallout means only Iran and its allies stand as victims while others watch or cheer it on.

I will perhaps post a long and detailed thread in the coming days or by next week. I've been unable to because of some of my own personal shit.
