If Iran was winning strategically they wouldn't have lashed out last night wounding 63 civilians (many needing immediate surgery) by launching missles at the neighbors and killing one Indian national because they couldn't get an empty tanker in to pump/store crude in. The blockade they initiated has blocked 125 commercial ships from accessing Iran.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are so afraid they won't even allow families of people like Mojtaba Vaisi and Meysam Vaisi, two brothers and well-known cultural activists in Kermanshah who were killed by security forces, to hold funerals. To recruit people to their pro-regime nightly vigils they are having 'temporary weddings' as incentives.

In addition with the restoration of internet more and more videos are coming out of the murders the Shia Islamic theocracy conducted on their own people who no longer want to live under Islamic rule, be forced to wear hats under threat of beating/death/rape, and those videos will undermine the lame lego propaganda attempts shortly. https://eyesofiran.com/event/59879

Iran has been incredibly restrained. Notice how Israel keeps attacking civilians but Iran has been attacking military targets? Iran is letting Israel know (since they know Israel is the one driving negotiations...) that Iran can still attack them whenever they want--and they know Israel is running out of missiles for Iron Dome. Iran knows they just have to wait this out. Every day American support for the war decreases and people begin to resent Israel more and more for dragging us into the war. Iran is winning the war by every metric. This is the first war where the target ended up coming out of the war more economically powerful... it's a complete backfire.

Such as..?

> Iran has been attacking military targets

Maybe a few, but the vast majority of their strikes illegally targeted civilian infrastructure. Off the top of my head, there was Dubai airport (struck at least 4x), Kuwait airport, various residential neighborhoods of Tel Aviv (with high-altitude cluster munitions that couldn't possibly target military assets), civilian energy infrastructure in several neighboring Gulf states, an MSC container ship, etc. etc.

Whenever the US and NATO have attacked any country, they've always gone after power and water utilities first.

Iraq. Yugoslavia. You name it.

Use the same standards and the Iranians have been very circumspect.

Remind me how many Iranian civilians were slaughtered by the US. And I'm no fan of the cult which rules the country formerly known as Persia.

Let's just talk about ONE school: was it 160 school girls or more?

Iran - unfortunately- is winning. The Straits were open and thanks to your genius of a president, they are closed now AND have shown the Iranian regime that they can control it and monetise it.
