They have Mohammed, peace be upon him, on their side.

It depends on what you mean by winning I suppose. Have we won in Iraq or Afghanistan ?
Total destruction of countries that have never harmed us. Creating millions more who hate us.
So we'll 'win' in Iran as well but we'll be in more danger than before. Our new puppet government will help themselves to our 'aid'. The people will unite with previous enemies to rally against us.
A phyrric victory I suppose. And perfectly acceptable to our elite who will profit. Paid for through more taxes and less freedom for us proles who will pay for it with our blood and treasure.
Perpetual war is necessary because when the music stops there's nothing left for the West apart from a speedy collapse.

Iran only needs to sink one infidel vessel, and it'll have"won" the muslim propaganda war.
