With Iranian assistance.
International politics isn't a schoolyard brawl. It's not about evening out kill ratios.
Right now Iran has operated a master stroke that will play to her advantage geostrategically and neutralize several threatening developments in the making, or avert their potential advent. Period.
All the above has already been achieved.
Given what unfolded in Palestine, Saudi plans for normalization of relations with Tel Aviv have been postponed for an undetermined period of time, western incentives notwithstanding. Right now these plans have been monkeywrenched big time, to the point that Riyadh issued an official statement blaming Isra"el" for the ongoing conflict.
No, Iran would not.
Russia acted rationally in accordance with both her own domestic equation as well as regional and international conditions. Neutralizing NATO encroachment step by step (Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, Caspian Sea, Kazakhstan, Ukraine).
Zionists are stretched and in chaos but far from having mobilized their entire military capability which the current turmoil wouldn't prevent. They can also count on outside assistance from NATO if cornered.
Being instrumental in empowering and preparing the Palestinian Resistance for a daring operation of this scope is definitely no 'joke' by any measure nor to any serious observer.

No amount of spin can minimize the magnitude of what Iran and allies have and are pulling through, no matter the outcome.
There's been no revision to Iranian policy since shahid Soleimani's martyrdom.
Zionist strikes were mostly directed at local Syrian assets.
This is an offensive. A well calibrated one.
Nobody claimed NATO isn't bent on trying to install a puppet regime in Kiev. They'd been trying for decades via successive "color revolutions".
Russia acted according to the most opportune timetable.
Being at the height of one's military power in fourty four years doesn't mean escalation towards all out conflict on all fronts is warranted. On the contrary, it calls for carefully thought out policy in order to safeguard the achievement and handle the present
piche tārikhi described by the Supreme Leader (h.A.) in the most beneficial way.
The zionists will be defeated through continuous asymmetrical Resistance in a long term endeavor, not through classical conventional warfare.
Please explain how. Personally I can see several uses to President Ra'isis statement and the way it is formulated.
Some detoxification from anti-Iran propaganda and psy-ops, always useful:
