Perhaps, but I would counsel patience and here's why... Afghanistan is taking an interesting turn with the Taliban seemingly at odds with Iran (https://amwaj.media/media-monitor/iran-deploys-armored-divis...) and so far no overt signs of resuming status a terrorist safe haven. Similarly, Iraq has become a sinkhole for Iran who continues to spend money it barely has to maintain its influence, while much of the country's oil revenue benefits Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the Kurds.

Was either worth the cost in lives and money? I think the ultimate answer takes decades and the enemy gets their vote.
