Perhaps we shall see but I hope both sides can see that the current trajectory does neither side any favours.
That's the question isn't it. Taking Vietnam as an example the North Vietnamese Army either lost battles, or did not bother to attack the Americans because they knew they couldn't win. They played the long, political war which America ultimately lost.
Iran will be looking to play that same game.
