Trump doesnt have the cards.

The only plausible end game I see is this: Iran behaves and the straight stays open without interference or Iran’s oil industry is destroyed and they are done exporting oil. That’s a tough thing for the global economy and the countries that rely on Iranian oil but that’s where we are.

What "new regime"? The one that wins the coming civil war between rival factions? The one that ends up being supported by China and Russia? That new regime?

Its not an option unless he wants to die in prison or as a refugee in Tel Aviv.

Says you.
Iran is pissing all their neighbors and inconveniencing the planet. They are throwing a tantrum and sooner or later between the seven countries they're fricking around with they will "find out".
Are we anchored??

Americans are so soft and easily influenced by MSM now. The most frustrating thing is the left will ban together and defend the stupidest things, gender, not being able to define what a woman is, men in women sports etc but when it comes to uniting to show strength as americans that is a no go. Even worse is the party that stands for womens and gay rights would rather side with a country that treats dogs better than the side who hasn't done one thing to take away their rights no matter how much the liberals say it is true. The left has strenthened the iranians resolve by showing such opposition to the war and have given them the rationale that if we can just hokld on a little longer america will tear itself apart.

4. SA doesn't have nukes but have stated they are interested in getting some if Iran ramps up.
5. In the past week or so Iran has also popped off on UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman.
Ever lived in or visited any of these countries? The last time one of their citizens got their hands dirty doing any work was never. They won't be able to fly in plane loads of Bangladeshis to go fight Iranians for them.

Was Truman arrested after he nuked two cities? Were those who ordered the Dresden bombing arrested? I could go on and on.

I can't say that I have.
I reckon between the seven nations, Iran will face consequences of their actions though.

In other threads, I've commented about the billions of dollars we taxpayers are about to spend to rebuild the bridges and power plants and other shite that some posters here are giddy about blowing up. You have to be in your twenties if you don't realize that when this is all over, we will be paying for the rebuild.
And that's the best case scenario.
Worst case is that Chinese and/or Russian backed proxies win the ensuing civil war and they're the ones doing the rebuilding.

Sure they will.
But those consequences likely will be the scenario I outlined above.
