Trump Sought Options for Attacking Iran to Stop Its Growing Nuclear Program
The president was dissuaded from moving ahead with a strike by advisers who warned that it could escalate into a broader conflict in his last weeks in office.
WASHINGTON — President Trump asked senior advisers in an Oval Office meeting on Thursday whether he had options to take action against Iran’s main nuclear site in the coming weeks. The meeting occurred a day after international inspectors reported a significant increase in the country’s stockpile of nuclear material, four current and former U.S. officials said on Monday.

Iran nuclear sites are all highly active which means the fallout could / would easily reach all of the Arab world and India and China or Pakistan and Afghanistan hundreds of millions with die out of illnesses like cancerTrump is not mentally fit to be President, if he embarks on a strike on Iran's nuclear program, the whole world will understand it is because he is throwing a fit like the narcissist he is and wants to remain the President. It would be deeply unpopular in the US, especially while US is dealing with the pandemic and are soon to approve another economic stimulus package for individuals and businesses.
Iran on other hand will not rush to respond but will do assessment of damage than activate Iraqi proxies against US targets in Iraq and may target Saudi/UAE infrastructure. They will not use Hezbollah as they want to keep unto them for long term influence in Lebanon and they will not directly target Israel either, as both Israeli's and Iranians see an Iran-Israel war as gift to Turkish and Arab Islamists. The biggest loser out of this will be Saudi Arabia as US will quickly move to end the war and impeach Trump, while dealing with civil strife, and Iran will see it as opportunity for settling ideological scores with Saudi Arabia.
Russia likely will not allow Syria to be involved as well, with exception of minor reprisals that don't change anything.

so essentially you guys are keeping the whole region as hostage..
FYI those figures are a tad bit exaggerated, the fallout from Fukushima and Chernobyl would argue otherwise
agrred i think they will stop him before he dose something , yes but well Iran has alot of nuclear sites tooYou are exaggerating the numbers, but anyhow I don't want a war to happen. Even if Trump somehow authorize a strike it will be deescalated quickly I assume and he will be impeached since his intention is to force a second term for himself while he's still refusing to concede the election to Biden.
Trump was never directly going to war with Iran. He did not attack Iran directly even after the missile strike against USA troops in Iraq. Biden will probably have a softer tone on Iran.
