their ground forces are showing themselves subpar, but their air and missile forces are still unrivaled in the region. unless the iranians have a nuclear deterrent then they won't go all in on tkd. and even then, that invites a war with the us, which the iranians don't want. i think iran's long term strategy is to build up the capabilities of the region to the point where decapitating strikes like on nasrallah is meaningless in the macro. basically create more moles than the us and israel can whack, while maintaining the ability to strike from multiple theaters simultaneously.
