They've been shown not to be able to protect their allies in the region.

Their bases in the region have been shown to be vulnerable.

They were hit very hard or something that they tried to keep secret.

So the U.S.

and Israel in the eye and face them down and survived.

It probably makes them stronger in terms of internal opposition.

The military, who were the ones carrying out the suppression of dissent before now, are now completely in charge, as far as we can tell.

The secular part of the regime, the presidency, seems to be very much weakened.
