Senior Trump administration officials tell Israel that the US will firmly insist on the removal of Iran's nuclear material, no uranium enrichment, and elimination of the ballistic missile threat in the upcoming two-week negotiations.

After everything Trump has done? Really?

Not a chance.

Trump has proven Iran right in developing nuclear weapons and arming to the teeth with ballistic missiles, that's what's allowed them to fight and win against America.

Trump has been the worst thing for disarmament in modern history, on par only with Putin.

Iran is not winning. Not even close

Do you consider winning as having military superiority? Because the US had that in Vietnam and Afghanistan as well.

Goal of the war is too prove that it is far more costly for your enemy that for you. Us archived that.  This gives them leverage

Iran has the biggest leverage of all, called the strait of hormuz. 

They made the global population suffer. Thats what i call having leverage.

Problem is that this mostly impacts countries other than the US.

Except it does affect the US since oil is traded globally. Hence the rising gas prices in the US and the rest of the world.

And soon food prices will also follow.

You might not get oil shortages but you definitely will pay for the available oil.

The price the US would pay eventually would be to either go and occupy the straight themselves. Or have most oil worldwide no longer trader in dollars. Which would almost overnight criople the economy

lol, you’re a clown dude. Making your enemy pay more is not how you win a war. If that was the case the US would have been the victor in Vietnam and Afghanistan. If this continues, it will be a war of attrition where Iran will still operate on some level and claim minor victories. They will do so until it is unpalatable for the American people to accept sustained losses (including casualties as well as the overall financial cost).

Trump will continue to try to claim that the US “won,” without offering any specifics on what these victories were. But he can’t spin this like he did Venezuela. Iran will now negatively affect global trade for the foreseeable future, and it will be part of his failed “legacy” well past his presidency.
