Oh and apparently America was going to end the sanctions; totally; they were going to do it for real real; no fakesies!

And apparently Iran, a country that's.....what, 70 times the size of Israel? Has apparently been decimated and is war torn; sure, and I have a bridge to sell you. Iran wiped the floor with Israel and their only mistake is they stopped attacking.

Yeah Trump was totally going to end the sanctions, but now he's so emotionally hurt for not having been thanked he just won't. Very adult of you; no idea why anyone would call you a grown manchild.

Iran wiped the floor with Israel and their only mistake is they stopped attacking.

This is just not true. At most, Iran managed to land dozens of hits on population centres in Israel using ballistic missiles (only one out of the thousands of one way attack drones launched at Israel even landed a hit), with no impact on Israeli military and air force operations or their sortie rate, an abject military failure. Meanwhile, Israel had fighter aircraft dropping JDAMs on Tehran within 48 hours of the start of the war, and did not lose a single manned aircraft throughout the entire conflict. Israel was able to suppress Iran's missile launch facilities in the west and forced Iran to switch to an attrition strategy instead of firing large salvos of missiles at Israel. Iran had their top military leadership decimated through decapitation strikes and assasinations which prevented an initial counterstrike, none of the Israeli leadership were even bothered. Iran had massive internal security issues with Mossad commandos launching anti tank guided missiles and FPV drones at crucial elements of Iran's defensive infrastructure (such as the fire control radars of air defence systems), Israel did not have any notable internal security issues. By the end of the war, Iran had their most valuable state assets directly bombed by the United States and Israel bombing as far east as Yadz, 1850km from Tel Aviv. Just look up how many models of Iranian ballistic missiles have a range greater than 1850km, it's not many. Iran retaliated (retaliation is a strong word here) with 14 old SCUD C based missiles fired at a single US military base, with all being intercepted or falling short.

This was as one sided as a military conflict gets between two regional powers. Militarily, Iran were completely outclassed. You can talk about if Israel accomplished strategic goals or failed strategically, that's a different issue. It's certainly possible to be vastly superior militarily and fail in accomplishing strategic goals. If Israel's goal was regime change for instance, that failed obviously.

I don't care what Trump says or pay much attention to it. But the reality is that this war went very poorly for Iran. Bombing Tel Aviv does not do anything to degrade the military capabilities of Israel, or deter them at this point. Israel went into this war knowing very well that Tel Aviv would be bombed, and chose to attack anyways, the Israeli military leadership clearly does not care about civilian casualties. Unless Iran can credibly threaten Israel's military and air force, there is nothing stopping Israel from doing this all over again, with the same result.
