Has Trump Already Lost the War with Iran?
Months ago, the administration said the war's goals were regime change and the removal of all uranium from Iran. We never hear about that anymore because the war has failed to produce either goal. Instead, Trump calls for opening the Strait of Hormuz, which had been open before the war.

DW NOTE
The administration's demand to "open" the Strait of Hormuz is rhetorical cover for the fact that it closed the strait itself 122 days ago. Only one ship has transited since August 9; normal traffic is 73 per day. The blockade didn't produce regime change or uranium removal — it produced 2,000 stranded vessels and a supply shock the US now has no plan to reverse.
