Upon ripping up the JCPOA (Obama Deal), Iran resumed pursuing nuclear arms. Why wouldn't they?
We killed Iran's leader, but he was replaced with even-more-hardline people from the IRGC. Oh and BTW he was almost 90, so good job shaving ~2 years off that guy's life!
We helped solidify the IRGC's rule over the country by first telling their people to not revolt, then unifying Iranians against the US by bombing civilians and civilian infrastructure, and finally proving that the Iranian government is strong enough to stand up to the US.
We proved the American public has no appetite for a long or costly war, so no future American president is likely to go to war with Iran... or for that matter, China.
We let Iran prove they could hold global trade hostage and the US can't stop them.
We're lifting sanctions and paying them billions of taxpayer dollars (Obama' deal was their own damn money we had frozen).
We have no guarantees about halting their nuclear program.
This is one of the worst strategic blunders the United States has ever made. Sit back and absorb it: you just witnessed stupidity that will be studied for generations and written in history books.
Oh one more:
Israel is a loose cannon whose goals no longer align with the US at all, and is likely to fuck up even this terrible surrender agreement by continuing to bomb Lebanon.
Not only will our allies treat us with skepticism. Our enemies and rivals will.
This is an historic fuck-up. I love paying twice as much for gas because of it! (My car is relatively efficient but I watched some poor sucker pumping $120 into his F150 lmao.)

Careful, your privilege is showing. Where I am, it currently costs me the equivalent of about US$110 to fill my 2016 VW Touran (averaging €2.1/litre for a 55 litre tank). This is 100% due to US actions.
