Trump's goals with Iran are unclear while for Iran the goals are simple, just survive as a regime and drag this conflict out as long as possible, something Trump can't have at home.

Moscow gloats over potential oil price spike from Iran war 
Putin may have lost an ally with the death of Khamenei but an oil price shock is good news for the Kremlin.

That's a possibility. If the bombing on #Iran fully stops, what excuse would Iran have to close the strait? Keeping it closed hurts their own oil revenue and the world will blame them for the closure.

#iran #israel #geopolitics @…

The strait of Hormuz is not fully closed, but probably in practice it is for commercial shipping. No doubt some ships will pass/get through but with the high risks and insurance probably becoming impossible, the transits will be minimal. Together with the strikes on oil producing facilities in Gulf states, oil prices will rise probably.
Iran will strike as broadly as possible in the Gulf region to make defence as hard as possible.

My guess is with regard to missiles, Iran can only fire 1 or 2 barrages and all launchers will be destroyed. Bigger risks are in the Gulf region , Hormuz etc

Seventeen years ago, while serving as an Iran desk officer in the U.S. State Department, I asked a more veteran colleague about the latest inflammatory statement by Mahmood Ahmadinejad, then the Iranian president. My colleague responded: “Stop paying attention to Ahmadinejad. Only focus on Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. He makes the important decisions.” He added: “But don’t worry. Change is coming. Khamenei”—who was then 69 and widely believed to have cancer—“could die at…

I am just wondering if the US can keep all current military assets in theatre for a longer time, if the next rounds of talks with Iran take weeks/months, or is there some practical limit? In other words is Trump in some hurry to strike or not?

Trump boasts about striking Kharg Island. There is no doubt the US can almost completely destroy everything in Iran, but still Iran will have the capability to strike back in some way, somewhere, that is what asymmetrical warfare is all about.
