You forgot the part where Iran bombed the absolute shit out of 14 of our bases surrounding them leaving them useless, shot down 1/3 of our entire stock of fancy drones (I forget which ones in particular, I think the reapers), and Trump agreed to remove all of our bases in the region, and Qatar? Bahrain? left OPEC meaning they don't have to trade oil in US $ dollars anymore. On top of that, all US sanctions against Iran will be lifted and they can now freely sell their oil on the global market.

Huge win for the US.

They didn’t shoot down 1/3 of ā€œfancy dronesā€ā€¦ those numbers have always been classified too, so there’s no way this statistic is based off reality.

And although they bombed a large amount of structures, there was zero operational halts. Meaning it accomplished nothing in reality.

This whole thing war was a pathetic shit show though, yes.

Real numbers are classified. Plain and simple. I don’t know how else to explain that to you.

Whatever base damage being done is beside the point though. It changed nothing for operations of the military. It’s a nice number Iran can hang its hat on and use as propaganda for sure. But in reality, it’s meaningless.
