    And even by war standards the us has kinda done nothing?

    Bases in the area? Evacuated.

    Allies in the area? Wishing they where not.

    Friendly Oil infrastructure? On fire.

    Iran’s fighting capacity? Largely unchanged and now decentralized and acting independently (that is a bad thing for the us)

    The strait? Now double closed.

    Us image as a superpower? shattered.

      The USA is utterly unmatched in its capability to destroy things militarily. But for nearly 80 years has been utterly incapable of fighting a war.

        Yeah I was going to say they can’t seem to hold territory at all, but this conflict showed they can’t even degrade the military of a near modern nation anymore. The logistics of the us military have also seemed to collapse if the state of their ships and lack of advanced munitions are to go by.
