This is especially true in the very volatile Middle East. While the Iranian leadership is indeed flawed—there's no denying that—sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. I'm not convinced that whatever comes next would necessarily be an improvement.

The Iranian capability to directly attack Israel or to develop nukes has been set back by at least 10-20 years by now. To put that into perspective, its about half the time the iran republic has currently existed for. So it's a significant milestone.

My feeling is that this has all been done to lay the foundations for and secure the future of the Trump Gaza resort and spa

The Iran threat will not disappear, but it will morph into terrorist attacks on the vulnerable public around the world. Even if a quarter of the current heavies in iran relocate to the rest of the world as refugees/ asylum seekers, thats potentially going to be 250,000 terrorists hellbent on revenge
