(Telegraph-UK) Allister Heath - Iran is one of our bitter enemies: its spies and propagandists operate in the UK, it has kidnapped and threatened our citizens and it despises us as one of two "Little Satans" (the other is Israel) to America's Big Satan. We should be thanking Jerusalem for taking care of the Mullahs and the IRGC on our behalf. Everything has suddenly changed in the Middle East. The good guys are winning a key battle in the great global conflict. Israel and America are reestablishing Western deterrence following the debacle of the retreat from Afghanistan. They are well on their way to preempting a nuclear apocalypse. Iran's defenestration amounts to a rare, yet hugely important, victory in the fight against atomic proliferation. It is hard to exaggerate the outsized role that Israel is now playing, and how much it is aiding an ungrateful and ethically compromised Europe. By necessity and out of self-interest, it has become the West's praetorian guard, a nation of heroes dedicated to doing our dirty work for us. A tiny country the size of Wales, its population barely larger than London's, Israel is annihilating - from 1,000 miles away - an oil-rich regional superpower that is nine times more populous and boasts a 75 times larger land area, while waging a conflict on seven fronts. The Jewish state has demonstrated a level of military and strategic brilliance over the past year last witnessed from a Western nation in the Second World War. Israel's fightback since Oct. 7 has been astonishing, and is helping to undo the narrative of Western decline. The forces of Islamism are in historic retreat: Israel's destruction of the Iranian proxy system is an even greater victory for Western civilization than the ending of al-Qaeda and Islamic State. With the West being rescued from its own stupidity, perhaps now is the time to allow ourselves a fleeting moment of optimism.
