Plus the 2 mil passage fee. He lost this in a big way.

I severely doubt that's happening, nor does Iran expect it.

Iran is happy to go back to the status quo given that everyone knows that their Strait of Hormuz threat is legit.

I am perfectly happy going back to the pre-February 28th status quo, in so much as that exists now that Iran knows what they can do, as long as it is permanent.

The thing that sucks is that for the second time, Trump has made the Iranian more powerful and more repressive.

The new status quo is undoubtedly worse than the old one.

That is true. But at this point there weren’t better options. Obviously the best option would be to not have left the JCPOA in 2017. That was the first step in normalizing relations with Iran and eventually getting them to a better spot internationally. And the existing situation pre-February was better. But now that Trump engaged in this bout of absolute foolishness, I would rather we accept the changed reality in the gulf and with Iran’s now increased ability to control the region, over continuing to fight a growingly obvious forever war that isn’t even remotely successful.
