The Iran war may have paused, if not finally ended. Iran has lost its leaders, half of its missile and drone stocks, and a substantial part of its military and civil infrastructure. Thousands of Iranians, a majority of them combatants, have been killed or injured. The US has lost a few aircraft, more to friendly fire than to enemy action. Some Americans, Israelis and Arabs have been killed. Countries of the Middle East have suffered damage to their water and oil infrastructure. Israel has suffered building damage, deaths and injuries.
The human and material losses sustained by Iran are much greater than those suffered by the rest. Such damage is the natural outcome of any armed conflict. There are intangible losses on both sides. The fissure between the Trump administration and Europe, already substantial, has widened. NATO members did not extend support to the US and largely remained on the sidelines.
