A fourth "C" is missing: Compromise. Successful strategies usually include a negotiated endgame. Is a president who sees compromise as personal defeat psychologically capable of pursuing one?
Iran should have been attacked after the assault on the US Embassy in 1979. A State of War existed between USA and Iran. Never declared. As far as President Trump using WME, weapons of mass effect, my observation is: it's not happening. His skill set is more of school yard bullying not a punch to the throat. My observation is that successive US presidents have ignored Iran because of economic realities: the energy industries hold the world economy in a strangle hold. So, I'm not an economist, energy engineer, or scientist. Please feel free to dismiss my position as infantile and lacking in statistical proofs. I'm leaving that to my AI Avatar, Liam Roe, residing in my USB flash drive socket fitted deftly behind my ear. Now I'm really wired for sound.

Fervently, hope NOT plan C,; but agree with Jeffrey above as in crazy.
I'd pick the fifth C - Crazy. I honestly believe Don is unstable enough
to use nukes. Plus it would be the MAGA macho thing to do.
