During the 40-day war, developments in the Maidan repeatedly forced Washington to retreat from its stated goals.
Brigadier General Amir Alireza Sheikh said: America's greatest military failure is not only in the amount of casualties or material damage, but in the collapse of the power image that this country built over the years with extensive propaganda and military expenditures. Despite repeated victory declarations by the American president, the developments on the ground repeatedly forced Washington to retreat from the declared political goals.
