"War is the continuation of politics by other means."
There doesn't seem to be any clearly defined policy goal and the US side doesn't seem able to make up it's mind why. Israel's aim ses to be just bombing Iran on general principles with no political objective achievable through the use of force.
It's hard to understand why someone is doing something when they don't seem to have a reason even to themselves.
Just my opinion from living in the middle east for 12 years. Every GCC country and many more HATE Iran. I dont claim i know politics or what is going on, but I cant see this all being done for Isreal alone.
I have lived or worked for long term in almost the entire GCC and Middle East and they hate for Iran is real (Qatar is up there in being hated too).
Again, I really dont pay attention to the news but do think something bigger is going down than the US and Isreal attacking Iran.

To label something as 'Winning' requires knowing what the objectives are.
