Well actually Iran wins.
USA spends 150 billion dollars to wage a war lasting 45 days or so with a tenuous peace.

Israel suffers about 100 billion dollars in direct damage, including cost of weapons spent, operation costs, etc.

All this to inflict about 30 billion dollars damage directly to Iran.

250 billion dollars costs to inflict 30 billion dollars (tops) in damage to Iran. This is winning?

No--this is a perfect example of modern day asymmetric warfare... which BTW Iran had been gaming out for the last two decades.

And on top of this the straight of Hormuz is open now for oil traffic--which Iran immensely profits from to the tune of 450 million dollars per day. And on top of this 70% of Iran's ballistic missiles survive along with tens of thousands of drones--which they are replenishing at 500 per day in underground factories. And on top of this, Iran's regime survives to fight another.day.

What Trump did was to take an exit from this war, started off of bad intel from Israel--or blackmail from the same. The pressure from the world was immense FYI. Any longer with Hormuz being closed risked a world-wide depression and famine.

There was no win--just face saving in time to hopefully rebuild for the mid-term elections... which look grim now.

Trump is still blockading Iran, so they won’t get shit until the agreement is done. And He just announced that Iran is handing over its nukes, so there’s another win. Iran knows they’re done. They made a mistake messing with Trump.

If they hand over nuclear materials--it won't be to the USA or NATO... it will be to Russia.

Like anyone is going to believe the Iranians. They’ve lost all credibility at this point.
