TL;DR Summary
Despite optimistic public statements, the U.S. war against Iran has produced few strategic gains and is costly and protracted: Iran’s proxies remain powerful, critical shipping lanes near Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb face threats, oil markets are unsettled, Tehran’s nuclear and missile programs persist, and Washington’s shift to economic pressure has yet to deliver a clear path to resolution or victory.
