Right or wrong using military force is a vote loser in almost every case. No matter what happens if we keep trading punches the blame will end up on the President.

I’m not so sure about this.

Depend on what actually transpires.

Agreed. I suspect Trump will only intercept/respond to actual aggression or attack just enough to ensure US security. If Iran should launch an offensive, it becomes all defense from there and most voters will not blame him or expect surrender at that point.

Too bad he wasn't President when Iranian citizens rose up a decade ago. Maybe they'll sense a window of opportunity now.
