Two populations freed from their dictator all in two months. Venezuela already has a popular temporary government until an election is held.
No chance of a WW3 since you'd need middle eastern military pushback against the U.S for that. Instead you get important former Iranian allies' support and military backing, like Qatar, Saudia Arabia, UAE and Bahrain. not directly all, but those are powerful players. Two swift attacks ending the leaderships.
Replacement opportunities even temporarily have been there even before the war, like the son of their King pre 1979 who seems to be popular. He's been in exile in the U.S ever since their Islamic communist revolution back then.
Things are actually looking pretty decent. Insecure definitely, but on the positive side. Things can change suddenly for the worse ofc, but that hasn't happened yet, and the signs aren't exactly there. The ones against the war as it isn't in their personal interest, control the mainstream media (the EU), and they have only negative spins. NATO is in favor.
Balanced media wouldn't be this level of doom & gloom about it - they'd cover the good and the bad aspects. But doom has been all they serve for an entire year
