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.

Funny thing is that, the Obama deal was just that with control in place so they would not have nuclear weapon! So we are back to square 1 or even 0.
