The US killed Iran's leadership and strengthened their resolve. Now a bunch of younger, more creative, and more passionate people have taken leadership positions. Iranian propaganda has proven more effective and internet savvy, and their military decision-making has likely improved due to destagnation. Trump literally threatening to wipe the entire civilization off the face of the earth likely pushes Iranians who are against the regime to reconsider (even if only temporarily while they deal with the bigger threat), and I couldn't say I wouldn't make the same judgment if I were in their position. What a colossal failure, but hey, at least the defense contractors are making money, right? I can't wait for the blowback from this to inspire the next round of interventions, if we're even still around by then.
