Not to mention Before the war: Iran’s image in the west was of a backward theocratic fundamentalist society led by a severe religious figure Iranians can’t wait to get rid of. After the war: We now know Iran’s leadership team’s education level is off the scales, as is their sense of humour, compared to the US (and most other nations); Proportion of women who hold PhDs is off the scales (Saudi women still need a male relative’s permission to marry yet no one is bombing them to liberate them); They make the best memes and are producing them at the rate they produce missiles ; The country now more united than ever, despite attempts by Mossad to stir up a revolution

Before the war: 1) Iran didn't control the Strait Of Hormuz, now it does 2) Iran oil was sanctioned, now it's not 3) Iran was not building a nuke, now it will 4) US bases in the Gulf were assets, now liabilities 5) Inflation was declining, now increasing Definitely winning!
