I have to assume you're saying this sarcastically because I don't think you realize that's exactly what's happening.
Probably not before Trump gets a few thousand american soldiers killed. But it's the only outcome atp.

Enriched uranium stored would be proof, or a facility to do that. Like, I'm not opposed to stopping certain countries from having nukes, and Iran would be among them. But from where I'm at it doesn't look like that's what the operation aims at so far. It's more of a blockade.
Israel alone was enough in 2025 to destroy an enrichment facility. It's unclear what Trump is after with this.

The IAEA said before the Fordow strikes they were sitting on 400kg of 60% enriched uranium.

Right now it's like chess. The US has won but Iran hasn't resigned yet. Sort of like you in this thread.

What's stopping them from getting nukes directly supplied by Russia?
If they have that uranium they'll hand it out shortly, anyways.

In a chess game that has been won the game is over. This is the kind of chess game where the Pentagon says it urgently needs another $200,000,000,000.

The Strait is still closed, gas is hitting $4, Iran isn't any further from getting nukes than they were before the war, American allies like Qatar are surrendering. Haven't seen an American victory this decisive since Vietnam.

Can you define what Iran resigning looks like?
If Iran has the same regime after? Is that a loss or win for the Iran?
What if they still control the strait? Or worse are now charging for using it?

Iran didn't want a nuke until Iraq showed that you need one to defend against the US, and Bush's 'Axis of evil' certainly made Iran feel like they were next.
Then Obama managed to defuse the situation, explain to Iran that Bush was an abnormality and that they really were not looking to invade Iran, so lets not build a nuke.
Then Trump tore up that deal, once again opening the notion that Iran would need a nuke.
And to put an exclamation on the point Trump then attacks Iran, proving once and for all that Iran (and lots of other nations in the world) actually does need a nuke.
But sure we, the rest of the world, should be afraid because Iran is trying to get a nuke...
This is as ridiculous history re-writing as you trying to claim that the US saved the world from Iranian missiles that they were not launching at us prior to your attack.

So are people hoping for Rubio, Vance, or Trump as the Republican nominee in 2028?
Rubio being the most "reasonable" of the three also pointing out that military spending being devoted to helping the citizens could result in a much different country.

at this point they might as well skip 2028. this war sealed their 2026 fate and beyond.
interestingly they still communicate like it's all theoretical and a never ending campaign trail instead of them shitting the bed while in power.

Basically it's acceding to the 15 points they refused last year before they had their military capabilities bombed to shit.
Right now they have no missile factories. They are done. It just takes more moves to blow up remaining launchers and sites, possibly collect the uranium, blow up the power grid if they're too stubborn. Blow up any remaining Supremes-Leader. The Strait may not exactly be a US goal. Allies might not be happy but if the US literally just left, they would have to guarantee it themselves, but I think also marines and paratroopers can handle it. But there is a strategic issue of using all the rapid response forces because then you need other rapid response forces in the queue in case there is another issue somewhere.
They already don't have the same "regime" I mean they have the same rough structure of system on paper. But for example Khrushchev to Brezhnev wasn't the same "regime" despite being the same system. Spontaneous un-revolution or re-democratization of Iran doesn't look exactly in the cards right now and would need some kind of coup to civil war.

Iran's nuclear ambitions date to at least the 1990s, called the AMAD plan, after Pakistan got functional nukes first.

Someone has possibly led you to believe that the Iran nuclear deal contained something to the effect of
AND THEREUPON NEVER SHALL THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (nor Israel) ATTACK IRAN, IT IS SO ORDAINED, IRAN'S IMMUTABLE SOVEREIGNTY TO STAND IN PERPETUITY
which it didn't. I hate to put my words in your mouth but this is the only situation where your post makes sense. The Iran deal was not "We won't invade if you give up the nuke." I'm open if you find that in one of the stipulations as I haven't read the entire thing. But to the best of my sincere knowledge, you're operating from a misunderstanding of the deal's conditions.

Any person living in a first world country can not blame FOX News for becoming radical. It is 100% on them. It is up to each person to put in the work to consider a multitude of perspectives. If some guy just passively consumes the info spewed by 1 compromised source... that is on them. All this said, everyone is calling everyone else 'radical' these days.
This above trend makes me fond of a term coined by former Canadian PM Jean Chretien. "Radical centre"
Source: https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/former-pm-chretien-says-liberal-party-must-move-back-to-radical-centre/
Someone in the 'radical centre' gets called radical for his right wing positions and policy ideas by the left. Likewise, that same person gets labelled radical for his left wing positions and policies by the right wingers.
The USA needs more leaders in the 'radical centre'.

I'm enjoying this "actually regime change is already done" as if Trump didn't specify that "I have to be involved in the appointment of Iran's new leader, like with Delcy in Venezuela".

Trucks to serve as launchers (prompting sanctions against that firm), assistance with sanctions evasions, Chinese banks helping North Korea finance its nuclear program. All things that China could've tightened or stopped if they were really against it.
