Honestly, I have the feeling there is a fight between different narratives. Western newspapers are in my opinion too optimistic about the Iran war and its aftermath. I agree here with John Mearsheimer.
I read many experts interviews and you get answers from China and the Iran are the clear winners to Israel and the US were the actual winners. I think the latter explanation is copium. And I think not a few people from the Israel lobby want to spread this narrative. I think the book The Israel lobby (of Waltz and Mearsheimer) is far from perfect. But you have to say neo-realism explains the current world affairs quite well. And from the things I read it really sounds like Netanjahu dragged/tricked the US and Trump into another forever war. Just because the Trump administration became megalomaniac after the Venezuela coup.
China also has to deal with the aftermath of increased oil prices. Especially, Asia is hit hard in this instance. Though, the enormous amounts of ammunition and resources that get wasted on the US side is astronomical. The falling empire falls into rage while it is imploding.
Another answer to the question could be Russia though.
