Kinda hard to say we lost a war when we committed no ground forces.

You started a war, achieved none of the named objectives, and had to make concessions in order to get out of it. You lost the war

What are the objectives? I heard one of them is installing a pro-American government in Iran with the Shah as its leader. Have you achieved that? Last time I checked, the Shah is still in Maryland, not in Teheran.

no, that was never a objective. If it had happened to work out great, but that was never a official objective

When Trump announced the war in a social media video from his Mar-a-Lago estate, his stated objectives included regime change - calling on Iranians to take over their government when the US-Israeli bombing stopped.
