Sadly this doesn't answer my question. In which way is Trump losing the war and conversely in which way is the Islamic Republic of Iran winning? As to say there are "no winners in war" this may be right but there are winners of war.

Ok, I'll answer this question in simple terms for you. Before the war, Iran did not control straight of Hormuz. Now Iran controls straight of Hormuz. America had free passage through the straight of Hormuz. Now America cannot travel through the straight of Hormuz. In fact, their Navy fleet which was sent to Iran to kick ass is now hiding thousands of miles away from Iran. Before the war, Iran struggled to sell its crude oil. Now Iran is making record sales of crude oil. America begged its allies to help it in this war (not something a winning side would need to do). After America's allies refused to help, America petitioned Iran several times for a ceasefire. America and Israel have banned images of the damage to their bases and infrastructure, in order to hide this defeat. To end the fighting, America agreed to ceasefire talks on Iran's terms (10 point plan) which is something the defeated usually do.

THAT IS WHY AMERICA WAS LOSING AND HAS LOST THE WAR.

Have they won ?? YES / NO ?
