Yes, Iran did get a victory of sorts. They are now an official member of the Nuclear Power Club. And whether we like it or not, that does command a certain amount of respect and fear. Iran understood early on that they would be insulated from Foreign Attack if they became a Nuclear Power. Now they cannot go the way of Iraq.
Foreign Powers have to accept them as somewhat of an equal. And that's all Iran ever wanted. Their goal has been achieved. They're in the Big League now. Nothing can happen in the Middle East without their input. That's the kind of prestige being a member of the Nuclear Power Club brings. They played everything perfectly. Ya gotta give em some props for that. They never backed down.
