That’s a truly dumb argument.

If the police drops the crime rate by 60% in a city, but there is a robbery did they fail?

If you succeed in improving SAT scores in a school system on average in both verbal and mathematics but a few still score low, did you fail?

If you drop the obesity rate by 70% but a few people are still fat, did you fail?

If you’re a parent, and your child comes home with an A, he got a 92% on an major test, are you going to call him a failure because he missed those 8%?

Iran was able to launch:

Over 120 ballistic missiles.

More than 30 cruise missiles.

170 one-way attack drones.

That was April 14, 2024 in ONE NIGHT.

The sheer volume of fire has decreased.

~90% decrease: https://www.rferl.org/a/iran-ballistic-missiles-us-israel/33721304.html

They continued to launch stuff for months. Day after day. And now it’s a lot less, like >90% less. Why do you think?

Iran supplies / provides massive assistance to the Houtis (do you think those guys are building the missiles and drones?), Hezbollah in Lebanon (also shooting off less), Nigerian Islamic militants, and Shia militias in Iraq.

Yemen was launching 20 - 40 missiles PER MONTH on ships and Israel (on average), they did that for a long time, and of course Iran was providing these missiles. https://acleddata.com/update/yemen-situation-update-february-2024

As month in June, Yemen launched 2.

Why do you think that is?

I wasn't presenting as an "argument." I point it out because this is what the public perception of this stupid military campaign is based on.

If the 2024 presidential election was replayed tomorrow, Trump would lose to Kamala Harris -- in a landslide.

Nothing more needs to be said.
