However, it appears they also launched more missiles at Israel after that tweet, so who knows?
Remember though, Israel started this war to stop Iran from getting nukes. According to Vance, that has only been delayed. I haven't seen anything saying Iran agreed to dismantle its program. Trump and the shills would be touting that.
Israel has failed. A nuclear Iran yet looms. The objective of the war remains incomplete. Expect more war.
An astute observer might wonder why people who were so adamant that Iran's nuclear program be destroyed are now doing a victory lap despite that goal not being accomplished. They're just shills and lemmings who fall for them. They've been given marching orders to reify this outcome into blind trust for Trump and to close MAGA's ranks.

The only war lesson from history that I know is to start wars with war aims as small as is reasonably possible. Bismarck is considered a towering genius for making peace with Austria after Koniggratz, while Napoleon III is considered a bitch for making peace after Magenta. Almost the exact same situation, exact same thing happened, but the latter stopped short of his war aims while the former did not.
Good analysis overall - realistic, which is why people don't like it. I think you could say that Israel scored a significant tactical victory but perhaps a strategic defeat, depending on what happens.

Why would they, after seeing what we did to Libya after they disarmed? Plus they can see how we don't mess with North Korea or Pakistan. For all we talk about non-proliferation, our foreign policy sure gives a lot of incentives for developing nukes and using MAD.

As I've said elsewhere, I would not at all be surprised if there are gaping holes in Iran's chain of command right now. It's entirely possible the field commanders of Iran's missiles are not in communication with the government.
There's a legit possibility the fighting could stop for a bit. Iran is now acknowledging a possible ceasefire.
