This is somewhat puzzling, though. The Administration has repeatedly insisted that we have already accomplished all of the objectives for the war. That's the basis for their claim we had already won. Except this was our main objective.

No it isn't. We've largely destroyed their ability to make nuclear weapons. What we don't want is them trying to start it all up again. The negotiations are about the future state of Iran.

Granted, the list of objectives has varied over time, especially at the beginning of the war.

The objectives never wavered. Before they were even announced I wrote on this board what they were going to be: Eliminate Iran's ability to project power in the Middle East and beyond. How would one do that?

-Destroy their Air Force
-Destroy their Navy
-Eliminate their ballistic missile and drone capabilities
-Sever their links with their terror proxies

Or am I missing something?

Yes. We'd rather they knock this stuff off and spend their money productively instead of trying to throttle the region with nuclear weapons.
