I guess that whole thing about not hitting oil infrastructure didn't last long?
Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

All current stealth aircrafts appear butt naked in Infrared. In future when starlink miltary version is launched, they all have Thermal sensors. So stealth will be useless for near peer advisory. Also L band radar and other lower band frequency radars can detect stealth, just cannot target them at great distances. But once detected they can do beam forming with AESA radar, with higher band like X or S band especially with GaN power modules, so a concentrated radar beam. There is always a counter stealth tech .

indeed, the constitution of Japan the USA helped establish basically de-fanged them.
They are not allowed power projection, and that really is hurting them here - had completely depended on the USA for alliance on power projection.
Australia, they reviewed their navy and have concluded with the new style of warfare their ships are not well suited to such battles.
Predictions :
China imho should double down about now on Oil exploration in the annexed South Seas
Europe should review fracking possibilities.
USA / Canada should review the Keystone XL pipeline
USA / California should review the refinery closures in California ( President Newsom ? Really ? wtf are people thinking, this guy is a major slimeball )
EU / Israel / Cyprus / Turkey should review possible NatGas in the eastern Med.
