Iran Won by Reading the Calendar
The war is ending on terms that fall well short of what Washington originally demanded, and the explanation has little to do with battlefield dynamics in the Gulf. Iran did not outfight the United States. It outlasted a deadline it never publicly acknowledged — the Beijing summit scheduled for May 14.
That gap between stated war aims and the settlement now taking shape is not a failure of military execution. It is the result of a strategic calendar that Tehran read better than Washington managed it.
