This is a tough pill to swallowโฆ
With the U.S.โIran peace deal expected within 24 hours, one conclusion is unavoidable:
Iran won the warโฆ
After months of bombing and 13,000 bombs dropped, Iran still holds 90% of its missile stockpile according to the CIA. Its uranium enrichment remains on Iranian soil (even if under rubble). The economy contracted just 6%.
Meanwhile, the U.S. burned through a MASSIVE quantity of advanced munitions, lost credibility, and lost control of the Persian Gulf.
The Strait of Hormuz toll system survived (CONFIRMED) and will continue in an altered form.
The missile force survived.
The enrichment survived.
And in the end, Khamenei was replaced with Khamenei.
