Editor's note: CGTN's First Voice provides instant commentary on breaking stories. The column clarifies emerging issues and better defines the news agenda, offering a Chinese perspective on the latest global events.

America has lost. The war on Iran has, for now, come to a close. A deal is signed. Sanctions might be lifted. Ostensibly, everything seems to be getting back on track. But what this four-month conflict has left the world with is an America that can no longer be trusted. War can be started and ended whenever it wants. "Threats" can be "obliterated" today and then still claimed to exist tomorrow. When the world answers the question "Can America still be trusted?" with a resounding "No," America lost more than a war.
