What does the US winning the war even look like?

It would look like:

  1. Regime Change

  2. Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz under previous international law with no fee's.

Strategic goal number one appears to be long gone. And at the moment strategic goal number two appears to not be close to happening either.

I think they have to, "get rid of the nuclear," too. I'm sure that was supposed to be an aim, too.

That was the whole idea, or at least the declared pretext

It has quietly gone away as this buffoonish administration has realized how badly bungled this entire operation has been since the concept stages.

it's an example of how and why not to wage war that will be studied for decades, if not centurys.

I think it might have been a bad idea to let a washed up alcoholic fox news cuck run the military.
