With the killings did iran surrender??
If death couldn't stop them then this guys are America and Israel nightmares.
This guys are not weakling as those in western world who claims to be a superpower under the guise of sophisticated technology.

If it is sure for Israel and America why are they stopping smaller nations for possessing nuke.
If Iran like they should surrender or not, their economy will surfer. Iran with her enormous resources should be in the league of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Dubai but because of her love for sponsoring terrorism they cant move forward.

Lol. You are living in a reversed reality. Do you know the damage that this small war did to US Airbases in the Gulf?
What got destroyed in Iran is way more worth than what US lost. Why do you think the US is forced to negotiate with their sworn enemy. Keep dreaming in your world where Idi Amin is still ruling Uganda grin

With this I 100 percent believe whatever trump says about the i-ranian situation.

Their country has lost its military, they have been begging to negotiate but just saving face grin

If the i-ranian had any bargaining chip, they would have included Israel leaving Lebanon grin

But hell no, them no born them tooooooo tongue

Even, if the regime change doesn't come now, it would come later a case study Syria.

Most of their hardliners are all died with 72 virgins besides them grin
Keep deceiving yourself because you know better than Trump who decided to maintain peace instead of regime.

You think regime change is the solution okay between assad and this current government in Syria which one is better??

America was only beating sense into Iran leadership to drop their nuclear weapon ambitions.

Israel was doing something different from what America had in mind, which is more than dropping their nuclear weapon ambitions.

Can someone tell me what Iran actually gain from this stubborn war they embarked on??

How did USA won the war?
After agreeing to pay $12billion from the frozen funds of Iran.
And each Ship that moves through the strait of Hormuz must pay levies.
You are a learner in world Politics.
You're the one who's a learner sir
Let me correct yiu on dis, because it seems you all know nothing about geo politics
Firstly the money US is giving to Iran is not from the us pocket but rather Iranian money that was frozen. So lawfully iran deserves to receive that money take for instance abacha's loot that was rightful returned to Nigeria.
Secondly both the Iranians and Omanis are not collecting any levy for the transit of goods or crude. Reasons why the hardliners in iran are upset with Gbalibaf and Araghchi for negotiating a bad deal for them. Some are even publicly calling for their execution.
So please stop spreading fake rumours here sir/ma'am, i know you love the Iranian regime but plss stop with the fake news.

The term terrorist has been greatly abused. And people like you claim to be highly educated but still do not know the meaning of the word, how and when to use it and which personality or country qualifies to addressed as a terrorist irrespective of their religious creed, race or political believes. Shame!

Iamblessed8888:
@ Bolded, you’re right. These guys view death differently than we do. I also take a pinch of salt when people celebrate bombing and killing of terrorists. They dont care snd are even happy to die. They see it as being “martyred”

Infact i watched one interview where an iranian scientist was saying he feels envious that his other colleagues has been martyred and he is still here.

The middle easterners dont scramble and run in the face of danger.

USA eventually won .

Do you think I am 100% of the war Iran is fighting with Israel and America, Netanyahu is cunning he knows iran has a future potential he decided to drag iran into an unprovoked war he forces it to spend resources that could have been used for growth and development. Sometimes avoiding a war is a smarter strategy than fighting one.

HE IS A BIG LEARNER. WHAT WAS BEFORE THE WAR AND AFTER THE WAR. IRAN HAS NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS BEFORE THE WAR AND THE STRAITS WERE OPENED FREELY BEFORE THE WAR. IRAN ONLY LOST PERSONNELS AND AMMUNITION AND ECONOMY. NOW IRAN AND THE USA WILL BE THE ONES EARNING FROM THE PASSAGE. WHAT CHANGED...NOTHING CHANGED. IRAN STILL HAS ITS ENRICHMENTS. NOW ASK YOURSELF WHAT TRULY CHANGED, NOTHING.

THE REASON WHY TRUMP IS SPEEDING UP THIS DEAL IS JUST BECAUSE OF THE COMING MIDTERMS

For your delusional thoughts, Donald Trump America will pay Iran 300 billion dollars.
JSYK, as reported by Aljazeeza, there's no such payment in the deal

I am neither a Muslim nor from Northern Nigeria.
CBN and Minister of commerce? These guys fought an 8-year US-sponsored war with Iraq. Are you aware that this war was affecting US relations with other gulf nations as it was becoming a reality that they were not safe from Iran? What about the rising oil prices in the USA?
You're the one being emotional here. The US never negotiated with Iraq, so why was there a negotiation with Iran that they finally had to accede to?
Let's face it, Iran shocked the world in this war. I know you were thinking that by now, Trump would have installed the Son of the Shah by now as the new leader but the reality is what it is.

Trump just used his stubbornness to put the whole world in pains courtesy of energy crises. Inflation everywhere.

Iran's Uranium enrichment still intact.
Regime change not achieved

Iran's frozen asset which they weren't asking of is now to be released to them
Strait of Hormuz now to be tolled

US burnt and lost about 3years of ammunition and defense stockpile which they're now striving hard to replace.

US exposed itself more to bigger rivals like China and Russia

US added a reputation of bombing school children to its historical "fame"

Isreal is now more exposed to ME enemies as Iran now has more understanding of the workings of Israel's defenses

Iran lost its Supreme leader, top military and government officials who have been and will be replaced. One of the most pointless persons to fight is he who doesn't fear death. These people do not see death as a loss.
All of them in the middle east dont see death as any big deal
With all these your America lost this and that...
Please give us the catalog of what your iran regime lost too .....let compare

If it will negotiated 300 billion to stop the nuclear deal .plus all the damages done to those nuclear sites despite all the billions spent already then that’s a good deal by USA .

If you’re using the meat up there you’ll know that 300b is nothing compare to the nuclear stoppage.

1. How the US Lost and Damaged Bases
Iran utilized a strategy of mass saturation, using low-cost one-way attack drones and precision ballistic missiles. Backed by reported intelligence sharing from Russia, Iran targeted the heavily concentrated network of US forward operating locations across the Middle East.

BBC

Widespread Base Degradation: Independent satellite imagery verified that at least 20 to 28 military sites used by US and allied forces were struck across eight countries.

BBC
Repeatedly Targeted Hubs: Airfields such as Ali Al-Salem Air Base (Kuwait), Al-Udeid Air Base (Qatar), and Prince Sultan Air Base (Saudi Arabia) were hit multiple times, proving that the US could not completely seal its airspace.

BBC
Critical Air Defense Failure: Iran successfully targeted the "eyes" of US air defense. Striking a THAAD radar system in Jordan ($485 million) and an AN/FPS-132 early warning radar at Al-Udeid in Qatar ($1.1 billion) left blind spots in the Pentagon's regional coverage. This forced the US to scramble and redeploy THAAD components from as far away as South Korea to fill the gaps.

BBC

2. The Financial Drain: "Bleeding Money"
The conflict exposed a devastating asymmetric cost curve for the United States, straining its military budget and domestic stockpiles.

Atlantic Council

Cost Category
Estimated Loss / Expenditure Strategic Impact
Destroyed Military Hardware $2.3 billion to $2.8 billion Loss of state-of-the-art surveillance planes ($700M), over a dozen MQ-9 Reaper drones, and refueling tankers.
Base Infrastructure Repairs $310 million to $800 million Direct physical damage to hangars, communication radomes, and facilities.
Initial Operational Burn Rate ~$1 billion per day The first 10 days alone racked up $10.35 billion in operational costs.
Supplemental War Funding Requested $200 billion Requested by the Trump administration to replenish spent munitions and fix damaged systems.
The "Cost-Imposition" Curve
The ultimate financial defeat for the US was the economic math of interception. Iran deployed thousands of Shahed-136 drones costing roughly $35,000 to $50,000 each. To counter them, the US was forced to fire Patriot interceptors costing $3.7 million each and THAAD interceptors costing $12.7 million per round. This 106-to-1 cost ratio severely depleted US domestic munitions stockpiles, creating high strategic risks for other global theaters like Ukraine and the Western Pacific.

CSIS | Center for Strategic and International Studies

3. Why the US Couldn't Fulfill Its Objectives
President Donald Trump and the US military entered the war intending to permanently destroy Iran’s nuclear program, degrade its conventional forces, and cut off its regional proxy networks. They failed to achieve these for three structural reasons:

BBC
Failure to Neutralize Iran’s Military Industrial Base
The Pentagon initially boasted that Iran's military was quickly neutralized. However, US intelligence later admitted that Iran reconstituted its drone and missile manufacturing capabilities far faster than expected—often within months. Driven by domestic industrial resilience and supply assistance from China and Russia, Iran maintained its capacity to retaliate throughout the conflict.

Al Jazeera
+2
The Collapse of the Gulf "Security Umbrella"
A core objective of the US presence in the Middle East is protecting its Arab Gulf allies and securing global energy corridors. Iran circumvented US defenses to strike critical infrastructure, hitting Dubai International Airport and the Ruwais refinery in the UAE. Furthermore, Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted 20% of the world's oil supply and forced QatarEnergy to declare force majeure. Instead of proving American dominance, the war signaled to

I share a country with humans with IQ lower than that of a pigeon. At what point did Iran start the war? You sneak-attacked people 3 times during different negotiations and still couldn't bring them to their knees. Iran singlehandedly faced 2 genocidal entities and came out whole, wounded but whole.

I've been reading a whole lot of nonsense up there about USA teaching Iran a lesson, and Iran losing, and blah blah blah. Lol. Not asking you not to lick America's ass, at least use sense to do it. Even almighty ginger-head knows he lost.

One idiot is talking about how it will affect Iran's economy moving forward, the same economy that has thrived under 47 years of sanctions? Are you bloody stupid?

Nuclear program that was the objective of the war is still there. They still control the strait and for the first time, they got ginger-head to actually caution the zionist mass murderer. That's a win any day in my books.

It's one orientation that the West do not understand in military dealings with ME.

A Western country of Iran's military capacity would put something in the tone of their killed Supreme leader and school girls as part of the negotiations at least.
It doesn't even appear in all of their demands.

To me, Iran has won the war. Their government intact, Uranium enrichment intact, billions of dollars to be gotten from freed frozen asset, "compensation" to rebuild damaged structures, and strait tolls, stronger alliance with China, Russia and N. Korea. They gained alot.

Their killed leaders and citizens, still massive gains in their orientation because they're seen as martyrs.

When you watch news and interviews of ME people, you'll understand their thought processes regarding death, especially in wars. An ordinary citizen so desire to be killed sef.

It was a tactical war played by USA, Iran is no match to Isreal, let alone mighty US. America avoided ascalation as much as they could, reason you think Iran has a chance. If US were to make a direct attack on them, it might turn to another world war as some countries will join them in the war.

If you play chess game, you will understand that Iran has been defeated long ago. Regime change that will finally turn Iran to liberal state they once were is around the corner.
