Today's Poll Question: If the War in Iran Ended Today, Did America Win?

from The Smerconish Podcast · host Michael Smerconish

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: If the war in Iran were to end today, would the US have been victorious? Michael breaks down the case for calling it a win: a decapitation strike that killed Iran’s supreme leader, significant damage to its nuclear and military infrastructure, and a show of force that may have restored U.S. deterrence—without boots on the ground. But Iran hasn’t surrendered, energy prices are rising, and the regime remains intact. Is this strategic success or just the end of the beginning? With insights from Admiral Stavridis and fresh reporting on Iran’s response, Michael asks the question that defines the moment: how do you measure victory?
