Clearly you are not an economics guy because your mind sees the world only in kinetic and tactical success. But if government would have waged just 2 more weeks of war, it would have irreparably harmed the global economy and secured Iran’s security for decades. If Trump went thru with his fake threat Iran would have taken the the remaining 6-7MBPD of Saudi oil off the market as well. It was refraining from doing this to avoid escalation and potentially drawing Saudi Arabia in and upsetting Pakistan. Also Houthi’s would have closed the Al Mandeb strait if Trump carried out his threat.
And Iranian missiles would have scored some hits on Israeli refineries and added to their pain. Sure, Iran couldn’t level Israel or cause similar destruction Israel was doing, I always told you they couldn’t and certainty not with less than 750 missiles fired. Missiles can never make up for what 10,000+ bombs can do.
Nonetheless, Iran was on pace for a grand finish that would have taken the world down to the sanctions it suffered for 40 years, but once again backed out because of 5th column traitors.
Any Iranian celebrating this 10 point garbage that Zarif and Rouhani’s lackey is trying to sell the nation needs their intelligence throughly unquestioned . Much like those who sat here and for years and told us responding via deterrence doesn’t matter, and that Iran was expanding and beating the west. Or that “no nukes, no negotiations, no war” was a solid plan alongside “strategic patience”.
