i don't see that happening. Iran has done incredible things, they have struck back as hard as anybody could in their situation, they are exerting massive economic pressure against their adversary, they are harmstringing US military assets left and right and Trump is still unwilling to just tell Israel to gtfo of Lebanon. He's either going to become a sitting duck after the midterms and just try to tough this out per decree while he corncobs more and more, or he will simply steal the midterms and go on thinking he can get away with anything, but regardless of this i think that this will continue as long as he is commander in chief.

when you try to view this from a geostrategic rationale, it makes zero sense to prolong this war, there is nothing to gain that is worth the losses. so there must be something else going on, either total ideological lock in running on pure spite, or the deal of letting the arms industry and Big Oil cash in on this no matter the cost to anybody else, or most likely a combo of both.
