Trump’s war on Iran has three possible ends: regime collapse, Iranian retaliation outlasting U.S. will, or a return to the deal.
Trump’s “small attack” plan is a miscalculation; Iran would retaliate forcefully, risking wider war and an exit-less conflict.
As Iran cracks down, Trump’s instincts favor staying out, seeking a deal rather than a messy, high-risk war.
