alephnerdIran launched unsuccessful attack on UK's Diego Garcia
Iran repeatedly stated that they will not attack any country's assets if they do not assist the US/Israel. Most European countries have refused to take part, the UK decided to help so this seems like a very easy situation to have avoided.

No, the US/Israel are losing the war. Iran is successfully controlling the economic situation and continuously removing western forces from the Middle East. They are also successfully targeting Israel every day. There's very little support for this war in the US and Trump is on the ropes.
> US/Israel are losing the war
This is incorrect. It’s grinding to a stalemate.
The US just allowed Iran to sell their oil [1]. If that's not a sign that Iran has the upper hand, I don't know what is.

> destroying
The same Iran that just launched missiles at Diego Garcia, a critical American base? The same one that severely damaged Qatari LNG infrastructure two days ago? The same one that continues sending missile and drone attacks at various targets? Has effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz and forced a +50% spike in oil prices? Ruled by the regime that has no intention of going anywhere?
We must have different definitions of destroyed.
