Who won the 12-day war?

So, who won? Israel and the United States achieved their stated operational goals. They inflicted profound damage, exposed the regime’s strategic weakness, and imposed a ceasefire on their terms. The Islamic Republic responded with posture, not power. But war is not only about what is destroyed. It is about what is rebuilt, and who gets to decide. That contest is not over. The war may have ended. The struggle over its meaning has just begun.
