Netanyahu has failed on his gamble. If he could prevail over Iran during this conflict, he would not agree to a ceasefire. It is not in the nature of Netanyahu to be merciful and accommodating. His entire gamble rested on the Americans fully joining in but never happened and neither did the Iranians allow the Americans to fall into Netanyahu's trap by directly attacking America. You see: Even America has limits. You are a military guy and should know that a 3-front war for even America is too much. Iran has just demonstrated that its hypersonic missiles, even if only 5% make the impact, are extremely effective in countering the tiny, cowardly, pampered nation of Israel.
Once you truly understand what I just said above then you'd understand not only the recent conflict but what the future holds.
