Well I will take the win. Getting rid of one of Russias biggest supporters or at least severely crippling them is more important in the long run, especially if their plans of acquiring nuclear weapons get thwarted.
The impacts of higher oil prices will only be temporary, since either the war will end now that Israel and the USA have achieved their goals or, if the Iranian regime tries to do something foolish like a blockade of the strait, the USA and the neighboring OPEC states will bomb the shit out of them, making it crumble overnight. So if the regime has any sense of self preservation and doesn't want a Syria 2.0 to happen, they will take the L and move on.
In the end this is what we wanted 2 1/2 years ago and now we are finally getting it. Not for the reasons we would have wished, but nevertheless...
