Iran cannot defeat Israel and America. It doesn’t have to do that to score some win, but even a minor strategic victory requires being able to keep shooting missiles and keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed. Relentless Israeli and American bombing plus lack of industrial capacity will prevent a decisive flow of missiles. If the Strait of Hormuz stays closed most of the world reacts and pressure all parties involved mounts. 

America and Israel cannot get regime change with a bombing campaign alone. 

They may very well convince the Kurds to launch some sort of offensive, but they’re not going to waltz into Teheran. 

So… some kind of ceasefire after hostilities peter out. Iran can claim victory because at least it didn’t get a puppet installed, and Israel and America can claim victory because Iran’s nuclear programme is halted and Iran’s industry and military infrastructure, plus navy, are as wrecked as air and naval power will allow. 

It’s not a scenario that promises much dopamine, in fact it’s kind of a boring scenario. 

And that’s that another aspect of this, online wars like this have become more like sports events with commentators and fans enthusiastically weighing in and defending their team. Regardless of how many innocent lives are lost and how many people are plunged into unspeakable grief.
