I find it so interesting that you believe the Supreme Leader was a moderate. Also that somehow, the almost complete dismantling of the Iranian military resulted in Iran having more control over the straits of Hormuz. "The end of the US empire" so dramatic! fun stuff

Easy. There has been no "almost complete dismantling of the Iranian military" and anyone saying so is lying or deeply propagandized.

The videos? The ones showing the complete destruction of Iranians military and rockets? Haven't seen em. What I have seen is that every time the U.S. Administration says the Iranian military is completely destroyed they proceed to blow something else up. I also see lots and lots of reputable reporting that indicates that Iran's military and capabilities are mostly fine.

The evidence of this is is literally right in front of you, how could a country with no military or capabilities hold the straight for 2+ months? The IRGC literally tweets every day about how full of shit the U.S. is, hard to tweet if you're dead as the U.S. claims.
