From the transcript

With the death of Ayatollah Khomeini, the balance of power is shifted in the Middle East. Prior to this week's attacks, Iran had played a central role in Middle East politics for decades. But now, well, it looks like that order is not long for this world.

Even if the regime somehow survives this war intact, the massive retaliation it has unleashed against its neighbours means it will remain isolated for the foreseeable future Considering that Iran has already bombed, among other targets, about a fifth of the world's liquid natural gas-supplying Qatar, Saudi Arabia's largest oil refinery and cities that the

UAE rely on as a safe haven for rich foreigners, the sentiment across the region seems to be that the Islamic Republic has finally crossed every red line.
