Iran glaubt, dass es gewinnt – und will einen hohen Preis, um den Krieg zu beenden (Geschenkartikel)

Iran believes it has gained leverage in the ongoing war and is demanding major concessions before agreeing to any negotiations. These include reparations, a U.S. military withdrawal from the region, and greater control over the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping route.

Despite sustained U.S. and Israeli strikes, Iran continues launching missile and drone attacks and disrupting energy infrastructure, which it sees as strengthening its position.

U.S. officials reject Iran’s demands, particularly any attempt to control the strait, and are increasing military pressure in response.

Analysts warn that Iran’s hardline stance could prolong the conflict, as both sides appear unwilling to compromise.

For Iran, winning is a continuation of the political structures that were previously in place.

For the US, since there wasn’t any particular clear mission or goals, winning would have been that this war increased Donald Trump’s popularity or prestige in some way. Not losing, however, is him maintaining his base and retaining the political loyalty of those who surround him, which, to be fair, has happened: the cult loves the leader! He hasn’t even seen a direct fallout from Arab states because they are all also fearful of him, even if the all hate him in reality. The loser here will be „future US“ with fully diminished prestige and soft power. But, that’ll be someone else’s problem – so still a win for Donald Trump since he only cares about himself.

For Israel, winning would be more security from Iranian proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah, a lower likelihood of a nuclear / radioactive-weapon-having-Iran. Seems like a split decision there, since there’s still some very nearly refined nuclear materials in Iran that intelligence agencies think is days from being refined enough to actually be built into a nuclear weapon (which, itself, could take months). From Benjamin Netanyahu’s perspective, he’s lived to fight another day and only had to prove he was real one time – and I’m sure the ultra crazy, ultra right wing loves all the war, so that’s probably good for him in the short term – and since every decision he has to make is short term to not go to jail, this is probably a win for him, too.

In that way, we can say that this war was basically a win for everyone except Iran’s actual leaders who are all dead.

Iranian regime is delulu. They’ll be blown up or behind bars in CECOT soon.
