Ok, granted. But: given the goals set at the beginning we agree that: eliminating the evil regime - did not happen (-1 point for the US) The powerful in Iran are laughing at the US... And so does Putin and other dictators making sure they do not get a nuke - no change to before the war (so far) (another -1 point for the US) was it the goal to interrupt oil flow? certainly not, but they got that (another -1 point for the US) the US used a high percentage of the their valuable ammunition, so they shot themselves in the foot, another -1 point and the US became the laughing stock of many in the world, after claiming many times that Iran was destroyed, like completely destroyed, after claiming they lost the war - they control Hormuz and still can shoot down from the sky whatever they want, so which goal was really achieved here? The negotiator of all dealmakers in the world could not negotiate the slightest deal without war - but was bragging about that he could - will he be taken serious by other dictators again? He failed with Kim, he failed with Putin and now he failed with Iran... I see minus 6 points for the US here - so while there are some minor goals that were achieved there is nothing Iran can not fix or compensate (e.g. with lots of drones)...
