Embarrassingly, it took me a few days into this war to figure out that: 

Ali Khamenei was not the head of the Iranian government. He didn't even bother hiding; he likely remained in the open and vulnerable so as to become a martyr for his people. Moreover, Khamenei must have been some sort of powerless mascot-president like Trump or Starmer or Macron.

Israel and the US have failed in their decapitation-strike attempt on Iran, and are completely unsure who is actually in charge. Years from now, all this will be recognized as one of the largest military-intelligence failures in modern history, up there with failures like the US not detecting Soviet spies in the Manhattan Project and with Hitler relying too heavily on double-agent Garbo.

Iran is much, much stronger than Israel/US realized. Iran has not even bothered to ask for help from its political and military allies Russia and China, nevermind beg for help.

Israel and US are lying about having air-superiority over Iran. They are very scared of something which Iran has. Trump inadvertently hinted at this mysterious Iranian anti-air weapon when speaking about the immense risk his B-2 pilots took months ago bombing Fordow.

Israel and the US have no idea where the Iranian submarines fleet is, what it is doing, or what it is capable of doing. Google AI says Iran currently has around 25 submarines "operating in shallow waters." The biggest X-factor in this new Israel/US/Iran War is just where the hell are Iran's submarines, what are they doing, what are they capable of, and where are they going to resupply now if Iranian shipyards are no longer secure?

Countries which have provided safe ports-of-call for Iranian subs are India, Russia, and North Korea.

The Ukraine/Russia/US war has been revealed to be merely an "exhibition bout" intended to get various people extremely rich. It has no end, by design.

Netanyahu abandoned his Israeli brethren and homeland to hide-out in Germany of all places. The "fact checkers" debunking this are lying.

I was originally shocked by the lack of videos coming out about destruction in Israel and I was foolish enough to believe that the lack of videos was because of a lack of success on Iran's part. The videos of destruction are merely being suppressed.

Ironically, Palestinians in Israel are probably safer now than they've been in some time due to Israel taking its foot off the gas pedal of Palestinian genocide in order to focus on annexation of Iran.

It's possible and indeed probably that the murder of all those poor Iranian school children was done on purpose by Israel and/or the US.

Many are afraid of Iran having some sort of Soviet Russian-like "Deadhand" system of secret nuclear missiles designed to assure Mutually Assured Destruction if Iran is defeated. However, Iran is probably currently capable of Mutually Assured Destruction between Israel and Iran alone using non-nuclear missiles alone.

This supposed risk will provide leverage for Israel to demand the complete and total destruction of Iran — no half measures.

President Biden pulled out of Afghanistan to free up American military resources for a protracted Iran conflict. Therefore Biden and Trump are both culpable for this conflict.
