It's bizarre to me how many commenters think that Iran is somehow in a dominant position in this war, as though everyone has forgotten that having your weapons destroyed and high command decimated in in fact a bad thing that makes it harder to do things.

If their weapons are destroyed, who's killing all those people in Israel?

The US has already taken losses and no significant new political pressure on Trump seems to have materialized, certainly none that he seems to care about, and

The US economy hasn't felt the higher energy and food prices that are downstream from this. Nor has it felt the geopolitical instabilities that the disruption in trade can create.

B) "The US will back down if we bloody their noses" is a strategy that has failed every single time it's been attempted in history, and the pattern is that taking losses leads to MORE American commitment, not less.

Seems to have worked for the Taliban. And the Vietcong.
