Pretty easy for them to claim. They went to war with Afghanistan with a deck of cards and Bin Laden as the Ace of Spades. 48/52 of those cards were executed or in custody.
This time Israel and the U.S. started the war by killing who they would claim is the Ace of Spades.
The U.S. isn’t going to try to colonize Iran, they could back out tomorrow and already call the war a win. They won’t though, because people aren’t the reason they are there, they are their to funnel money, and Israel is there so they can expand their borders, not into Iran, down through Gaza and into the West Bank, maybe part of Lebanon who knows what with Jordan… but when the Iran war ends they will hold more land and the world will say they lost.
It’s like if Russia and Ukraine reached peace tomorrow, people will say Russia lost because they dont control Ukraine. But Russia will have expanded its borders, and Ukraine would have shrunk a lot. Russia will have “won” all of that land, and wouldn’t give a shit that all those people died. (Because Putin got what he wanted, to keep appearing strong to his people, which he only cares about because it keeps his head on his neck, and stays rich beyond imagine)
Since they can’t even define what “winning” it would look like, it would definitely be hard to claim they didn’t.
Or maybe very easy. There’s no way to know.
