Check the citations and the casualty list while you're at it lol.

Leave it to reins to thinking winning is getting your civilians and allies slaughtered hundreds and thousands to one. but they had to redirect oil! victory!

That's a very short term view strategically. It's caused a massive ramp on hardened infrastructure pivoted away from the strait. Financially, Iran also lost their air force, all naval assets above speedboat size, the 5th or 6th most dense air defense system on the planet, a large portion of their missile stockpile. Add it up and you'll get over $200 billion quite fast, and that's before we get to infrastructure.

It's not going great for their allies, Gaza is 70% occupied.
The Houthi Red Sea Shutdown never happened.

How's it going in Southern Lebanon? That's the important one. Without it, all talk of who gets the phyric victory on wikipedia is irrelevant. Lets check in!

A senior Israeli official to, responding to reports from Lebanon, said: "There are no concessions and no withdrawals. The Israeli army is deployed along the Blue Line in positions deemed optimal for the protection of our forces"

Yep, still occupied.

"Commander of the IRGC Quds Force Qaani issued message to the Israeli soldiers: you have caused the deaths of 100 people in less than four days! If you do not leave southern Lebanon on your own feet, the same scenario of 2000 will repeat itself, in which you fled from this land in shame and disgrace. Today, if you insist on aggression and occupation, you will be expelled in humiliation and defeat"

Wikipedia says Hezbollah won that one too. War didn't really end, they traded attacks for another two decades before Hezbollah got their dicks blown off by pager bombs and reoccupied.

Ahh, the "moral victory". Usually won by getting your ass beat.

For those in power, anything that allows them to stay in power is a victory.

For the party in power, I agree. For the individual in power, not so much. Lot of churn in the Iranian upper management this war.
