Of course it's a victory for Iran

Iran has weathered a brutal attack by one of the world's biggest bullies and its proxy in the Middle East. How can that not be deemed a victory? Furthermore, the United States... or at least the U.S. Government has been exposed as having genocidal intent, framing both this war of aggression as fundamentally unprovoked and tending to justify anything that Iran now does (including the acquisition of nukes and retaining control over the Strait of Hormuz) as prudently defensive. Though an elderly, radical-religious government in Iran was deposed (brutally), a younger (but probably no less radical-religious) government has come in its place. And meanwhile, Iran retains a similar and proportionate military strength in the region, temporarily degraded but certainly not destroyed. So where is there any victory for Israel or the United States? Bibi and TACO Trump have only done the world and their own countries an obscene disservice.
