Lets Get Real:
As has been noted by others, Trump as a Candidate did not want to the US to leader of the West, and since taking Office, POTUS has tried to get troops out of warzones, thus the growing tensions with IRAN is out of line with his agenda set in 2016. It has been reported that the Trump Oval has given the Swiss a number to give to the IRAN should it wish to calm tensions in the region. A War with Iran would be most costly that the Iraq War of between 2003/11 and would take ground troops compared to the War with Libya under Colonel Gaddafi. Of a War can start by accident, a Iran general has stated that Iran is on a cusp of a war with the US and the heavy sanctions placed on Iran is hurting the regime and people.
One has to ask the question is a quick and ruthless war in the interest of POTUS before the 2020 election, in 2004 Bush 43 was re-elected even after no WMD was found in Iraq. A WAR President is more likely to get re-elected if the war is ongoing, the US voter will not want to change horses mid stream. Also there is the chance that the allies of IRAN could hit US troops or interests in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq, thus the recent removal of American diplomats from Iraq. The next few weeks will be very interesting.
