Well, that’s the funny part: at this stage the war only really ends if Iran wants it to end.
If the US stops bombing them they can still keep on blocking passage in the Straight, pounding American bases in the region and attacking Israel - America unilaterally disengaging will only make it easier for Iran since fewer of their missiles and drones will get intercepted.
Further, America bombing a school full of kids means that Iran has a lot more motivation as well as internal and even external support to extract their pound of flesh from America, Israel and their allies, and all those Golf nations around Iran with American bases in them are the easiest allies of America and Israel to go after and that in turn will keep on having all manner of massive side-effects from keeping oil and gas prices up to even weakening the US Dollar’s Reserve Currency status.
Last but not least, if indeed as some say the US and Israel are running low on interceptors AND if Iran’s planning for a war with America also included this factor, then it’s quite likelly that we’re entering the phase when Iran does the most damage, which would mean that Iran is even less motivated to stop if America disengages now that it can really start hurting their adversaries.
The shit that Trump and Netanyahu started seems to have gone beyond Kicking A Smaller Kid In The Playground and into Opening Pandora’s Box territory.
