It was as ineffective as usual (at military goals - plenty effective at destroying civilian infrastructure and murdering schoolgirls).
But also Iran absolutely did fuck up the US military. Multiple bases are effectively destroyed or disabled, dozens of aircraft shut down, missile interceptor stocks depleted, an entire aircraft carrier is running away shitting its pants (probably literally) and there are close to a thousand casualties. The US military took sizeable losses and achieved literally no strategic goals. This is not just being ineffective, this is both being ineffective and getting their shit fucked up because of it. A bunch of war criminal losers.
IMO Iranian fucking us up would've entailed them sinking a carrier. Running away because of malfunctions and logistics failures is us fucking ourselves up, and is even more pathetic and embarrassing.
The carriers stay 1000km away from Iran coast
The reason the carrier is fleeing is that all resupply bases in the region have been destroyed or rendered useless by Iranian attacks. They achieved both the immediate tactical goal of the carrier not enabling bombing runs anymore, and a long-term strategic goal of fucking up US logistics in the region for a while, without wasting extra missiles on sinking the carrier itself.
