Yes, the Iranian ring of fire has been largely extinguished, says Michael Doran.

"If you just go back to 20 months ago when Hamas attacked Israel, and the next day Hezbollah, Iran's proxy, opened up on the Israelis, a few weeks after that, the Houthis opened up on the Israelis. If I had told you then that in less than two years, Israel was going to have an unimpeded air bridge to Iran, it was going to control the Iranian airspace, and was going to take out 30 top military officers in the Iranian regime and nine or 10 nuclear scientists, you'd tell me I was crazy.

But Israel did do that, and by the time they did it, Hezbollah couldn't attack. One of the things that we all felt back in October of 2023 is that Israel couldn't afford to escalate against Iran because Hezbollah, which had 150,000 rockets and missiles, would open up on Israel.

And like we're seeing, basically everything that Iran has, Hezbollah has, or had. And so we assumed that Hezbollah's missiles could penetrate Israeli defenses and they would be blanketing Tel Aviv with missile fire.

But the Israelis, very deftly, were able to decapitate Hamas first, then turn their sights on Hezbollah, and they were able to neutralize Hezbollah before it could open up with all guns against the Israelis. Once they took out Hezbollah, then they were able to go and take care of the Iranians.

And so, Iran was never able to carry out a full front - a total campaign against Israel with all elements of its Resistance Axis operating all out at the same time. So, almost miraculously, Israel now has a victory at least as great as the victory it had in 1967 in the Six Day War."
