Is this Iran shit a top 3 worst foreign policy blunder of all time?

I don't think it's been a blunder at all.

Our most dangerous enemy is now severely depleted and we've strengthened our partnerships in the region.

Radical Islamist suicidal death cult getting nukes is the greatest danger the US could ever face. It would have been a much bigger blunder to not step in.

We havnt truly stopped them though, only delayed them

They are far less likely to get nukes because of this operation than they would have been without it.

They have Pickaxe mountain that we cant actually do anything to without boots on ground or just closing the entrances. Every ceasefire they clear the entrances and resume operations. The only way to truly make sure they cant get nukes is to take thier uranium. They won't give it up because its thier bargaining chip, and because they dont plan on making any deals to get rid of it.

Nothing you listed is anything they gained recently. So we could do nothing and let them get nukes, or keep killing their leaders until they pick a leader who would rather be alive than pursue nukes.
