The only exit strategy is a bad deal that leaves the brutal Iranian regime even stronger. And the US weaker. Not so all powerful after all. Seems Donnie fired everyone at DoD who told him this was an extremely bad idea. And what happens when all that's left are yes people.

There's a reason the US hasn't poked Iran militarily since Reagan. The geography was always bad, tactically, strategically and economically. Couple that with advances in cheap drones and sat intel all over the internet, and it's obvious why no one with any intelligence at all would even contemplate it. Except Shitler and Nuttyahoo.
