if I were the Iranians, one of the lessons I would learn from this is that nobody bombs North Korea. they have nukes. another lesson I would take from this is that they can control the Strait of Hormuz & thus manipulate the world economy.
if I were the DPRK & PRC, three of the lessons I would learn from Trump's War on Iran are (1) the US has a limited supply of munitions with which to defend RoK & Taiwan, (2) the US does not have a coherent strategic direction, and (3) the US does not have the assets nor productive capacity for a prolonged conflict nor for more than one simultaneous conflict.
these are not good lessons for future world peace & stability.
