If he turns this into a "Look at what you made me do!"-moment, he will have nothing but enemies and they'll all know that nothing will ever please him, which is dangerous for them.
Thus, their only option will be to assassinate him shortly after. Either by Iran getting back at him with a dirty bomb, or the Saudis getting pissed about the oil prices dropping and making a Diana out of him, or even by some lunatic MAGA who "didn't vote for this".
Literally everyone would be out to take him out, and he has nothing to gain from it.
If he realizes this, then no.
His best option is to chicken out. He will claim to have reached a tremendous deal with Pakistan that stopped him from bombing Iran out of his own kindness and generosity, and he will mispronounce all the words.
Ha, yes I guess I called it before it happened. Honestly I just woke up from a nap and figured it out.
I guess we'll have to see what Israel does before we can tell the outcome.
I don't think anyone else is going to anything crazy right now. Trump is likely out golfing and cashing in on whatever investments he made before starting this shit show. Let's not pretend that he gives a flying fuck about who does what in Iran.
There is a positive for him, guaranteed cementing in the history books. Either humanity as a whole dies and he doesnt care because hes dead soon anyway, or theres specifically classes being taught about him.
Imagine how (in)famous Hitler is. In 50 years itll be "Hitler Who?".
All Iran has agreed to, as far as I can tell, is opening the strait for a couple weeks so long as the US stops fighting completely. So, white peace, and with the possibility they negotiate actual concessions from the US later on.

Only reason he isn't using nukes is he can't. For some reason.
Maybe generals won't do it. Idk.
But it's not cause he doesn't want to. He does.

There's no positive end game in it for him.

Think yes, there literally is no limit. His brain is pudding and ego. Pray, no. He doesn't have the actual means to carry out the threat

Yes, it's unethical to not euthanize a suffering confused old animal.

Seems unlikely given that would mean accepting that Iran won the war.

Going by his track record, he would probably give up, and 'admit victory'.

Looks like a deal was reached

Deal/TACO.

Republicans clearly don't. I imagine there are going to be a lot of bribes paid to keep him from doing it.
