Far worse than anyone predicted on day one. It is frankly humiliating.

Iran will have weathered regime change intact, gained control of the Strait. Strengthened ties to Russia while using their technology to prove it can take out our jets. Iran gave up nothing. Sure, it lost an 86 year old leader and some missiles, but the gaining control of what used to be International waters is frankly amazing.
