9. I think he might be restrained by his own military

...who has already told him there would be high casualty rates with a dubious effect on the nuke material, which is now likely mobile and deep underground.

The Iran regime is just going to collapse into itself and produce a more defensive and resistant government, especially if we launch more strikes against them.

I think the French reports about those attacks on the ayatollah aren't likely accurate, but it demonstrates the scattershot of resistance and the present regime's staying power, a bit like in Venezuela after we attacked and took out their leader and they coalesced around what remained.

The demands about the uranium are really just incidental, opportunistic, rhetorical and mainly superfluous to Trump's desire to stage an attack on them to distract from his Epstein involvement.
