Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

If Trump wanted to use nukes, who's there to tell him no? Susie Wiles would, but she's dealing with cancer. Stephen Miller might want to see a nuclear attack out of morbid curiosity. Hegseth seems to think Jesus has called on him to kill as many Iranians as possible.
Dan Caine would highlight risks but "present the option." Rubio and Vance would be mortified, but they're dealing with a collective action problem, so each would prefer that the other be the one to put his foot down and alienate Trump.
Would Trump do it? In the past he's asked why we have nuclear weapons but never use them. He does not seem to have internalized the "nuclear taboo." And he clearly feels stuck with no clue how to get out of the Iran mess except to OBLITERATE Iran.
The late Sheldon Adelson had proposed dropping a nuke on Iran. Might his widow, Miriam Adelson, a top Trump whisperer, be pushing for the same?
Considering only 7% of Americans support a ground invasion, and since all the ground force operation options sound like suicide missions, Trump might even see nuclear weapons as the safer political option.
By the end of this war, all the fear-mongering about Iran's nuclear program might seem to have been psychological projection. One does detect in Iran hawks a kind of "will to destruction" and hatred of boring, civilized diplomacy. As Nietzsche said, "Without cruelty there is no festival."
I thought A10s were obsolete and useless and the military wants to get rid of them.
Because money and power are the only things that matter in life?
The F-35 isnt up to the task
