I agree with you, but there is one small caveat:
Any deal where the actual logistics of anything within Iranian artillery range is ignored, is a victory for Iran. A pretty shit victory, but it also means they get to push the same global buttons the next round so long the world is a petroeconomy. The same is true if any tribute is levied. Pipes won't really do anything if you could you know... just artillery the pipe or the end points. Or all the facilities needed for oil.
Its also very telling that Israel settled for attacking partisans instead of starting a long term ground invasion.
