Despite random WH claims of this and that, and which really aren't worth even reading as they are just random "sound bites" based on fantasy rather than reality, I'm really not sure what has been achieved apart from a spell of total chaos, death and destruction rippling out across the Globe. And that's not a pop at the US Military - rather, those that command them.
It says something when I honestly now believe more will be achieved by the rest of the world (providing the US stays out of it) sitting down with Iran, once US forces have gone home for their Medals etc. At least the rest of the world seems to have some idea of how Iran works and, in an odd way, the war has benefited Iran the most as it has handed them the upper hand going forward. After all, Iran has actually demonstrated way more "proportionality" in their response to US/Israeli aggression - unlike the US/Israel approach.
Of course some will disagree but I'll stick with my views if that's OK.
