US-Iran ceasefire deal is a ‘victory’ for Iran and another 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war moment: Here is why

What Happened

The US, Israel, and Iran agreed to a 15-day ceasefire after 39 days of fighting. President Trump claimed "total and complete victory" for the US, though Operation Epic Fury's main objectives—destroying Iran's nuclear program, regime change, and dismantling proxy networks—remain unachieved. Iran claims historic defeat of America, citing acceptance of its 10-point proposal. Observers note Iran achieved symbolic victory by surviving conflict with stronger opponents, similar to Hezbollah's 2006 war outcome.
