2 foreign powers threatened each other not to retaliate and the one that listened won? I disagree.

America told Iran not to retaliate or hell will be paid. They did.

Iran told America not to retaliate and we stood down.

I don't consider that winning. But I don't consider a lot of Trumps actions winning like some people do.

Iran could have used a proxy to respond. They didn't. They themselves took action. That's significant.

Iran said the US had a small dick. The US dropped their pants and showed a porn dick. Then Iran dropped their pants, showed a chode, and said they had a bigger dick.

No one but Iran believes that Iran looked tough. 

We retaliated to the embassy attack by targeting and killing a top Iranian official. They responded to that by showing that their military is vastly inferior to ours. Shrugging that off as a "That's it?" and walking away is absolutely a "win"... AS OF NOW. 

I may not agree with the initial strike, but walking away now shows strength and good judgement. Even better judgement would be saying to Iran "Look, clearly we outmatch you. Come to the table to negotiate or we will be forced to take your weak attacks seriously".
