How is anyone overstating what is happening? They have destroyed Iranian air defenses. To the point we are flying f15s, b2 bombers and a10s. Are they might hàve some shoulder fired sams or pop out some sams for pop shots but there is no coordinated air defense. We literally flew in chopers and C130s for the rescue with nothing but ground air fire in return.

You are over reacting.

We owned air superiority in Afghanistan for 20 years and still lost choppers and planes to shoulder fired sams.

Well they effectively have no air defenses. This rescue mission was proof of that! Tehran is a sitting duck right now. If Trump carries through on his threat to "unleash Hell" on them, they can't do a thing to stop it. We have total control over their airspace...can go anywhere, anytime.

I'm predicting the Mullahs (or whoever is in charge over there in Iran) will surrender before Trump "unleashes Hell" on them. He will send messages through back channels what's about to hit them, and detail exactly how bad it's going to be for them. They'll believe him!

They will choose survival to live and fight "the Great Satan" another day, perhaps under a different President....rather than face certain, swift and complete annihilation.

They can take the Hitler way out and kill themselves if they want instead of publicly surrendering. I'm ok with that if they choose that route.
