Attacks in Gaza and Yemen leave Iran in confusion over its next moves

For four days, the US has been striking the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen. For one day, the IDF has been striking Hamas in Gaza. This leaves Iran in confusion and not knowing how to respond.

This is because Iran is concerned that the US strikes could escalate and that Iran is not ready for a major confrontation. On the other hand, Iran’s supreme leader has told the country not to trust any opening from the Trump administration. This leaves Tehran in a bind.

On Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi hosted Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko for a meeting in Tehran on Monday. They “called for the expansion of bilateral relations and helping to ensure regional peace and stability,” Iran’s state media noted. Iran has supplied Russia with kamikaze drones for use against Ukraine. “The foreign minister while referring to the good and expanding relations between Iran and Russia in all areas stressed Iran's efforts to identify the potential for further strengthening bilateral relations,” the report said.

They also discussed the recent meetings in China in which Russian, Chinese and Iranian delegations participated. They were discussing nuclear issues and other issues in China, aimed at “securing common interests and protecting the rule of law at the international level,” Iranian state media. Iran wants China’s and Russia’s support.

If Tehran is not careful it will wake up to find all its proxies have had their wings clipped - then they become a liability, instead of an asset.

I guess it's appropriate to say that Iran's destiny is to march with Gog and the others, but we really don't know how much damage they do between now and then. We do know their hate and violent ways doesn't subside. Their proxies have had way too long being allowed by the world to move across the ME and underneath it in order to set up and continue terror on Israel. It was obvious that a weak America would be a weak positioning on proxies, etc. but no one would have done what Trump is doing.
