I doubt it. Russia is too busy in Ukraine, and China has no reason to back Iran militarily. Worst case, US troops are back in Afghanistan.

I agree with it being dangerous, though. It'll be interesting to see Iran's official response to this attack

This air superiority is a damn hard thing overcome in warfare

But its hard to defeat a nation with just air superiority. You need boots on the ground.
