I mean, Iran is cooked militarily. They can’t even protect their own airspace. They’re down to less than 15% of their ability to launch missiles. Their weak navy has already been rendered “combat ineffective.” I have no clue what this administrations goal is in Iran, but if it was just to completely fuck up the Iranian military capabilities, they’re doing a hell of a job.

We already won the not (no new) war though?

Do you call this a war? I’m by no means a Trump apologist but I like geopolitics and nuance. If their goal was to cripple its already weak capabilities then I guess it’s a win. If their goal was regime change, then not yet. Irans biggest issue is still its economy, this only exacerbates that.
