So Why did Trump Start this War?

So Why did Trump Start this War?

Because his masters in Israel told him, "You either with us or against us, so get on board and get your 'Kosher Rating' or kiss campaign funds and contracts in Israel goodbye."

There's reality. The Greater Israel Project envisions the existential destruction and breakup of Iran with ensuring sectarian chaos that follows.
However - I don't particularly think that Trump wanted this war, but Netanyahu had him by the cojones - Think: Epstein blackmail and threats to pull the largess of Israeli billionaire. The Don desperately wants to be in their club even though he's not one of the chosen people.

Will we see JD Vance leaving the office?

He have been firm about Us interests around the world, so now he is facing the war he did not want, tha war he preached against!

Where was JD Vance when Trump started this war, or should we be honest, Israel started the war.

Why he is now trying to declare victory and call it off is readily apparent: oil and the stock market. Trump saw oil approaching $120/bbl and Dow futures down 1200 pts pre-market on Monday and decided to make up a definition for “victory”, claim he had achieved it, and do it WHILE the markets were open (I’ll also guess his buddies and sons went long equity futures and short oil before Trump’s CBS interview.) .

Because he know that his conservative base who voted for him based on his promise NOT to get involved in foreign war, are totally PO'ed that he got involved into Iran. So now he can read the tea-leaves that Republicans are going to get slaughtered in the mid-terms. But Israel wanted the war so he was beholden to act. The war created the conditions for the closure of the Straits of Hormuz, which stops oil from flowing, which becomes a shock to the global economies including the US. And as Clinton's political strategist, James Carville, so aptly put - "It's The Economy Stupid!"
The war will be a major drag on the economy unless this is ended - like immediately. But Iran isn't going to stop unless they have iron-clad treaties that lift sanction and guarantee that neither the US or Israel will attach them again in the future. But Trump won't sign a treaty like that (nor will Congress ratify it - Israel will threaten to pull their AIPAC campaign funding) as the overthrow of Iran and the return of the Pahlavi Clan has been the strategic goal of the US since the Iranian Revolution in 1979.

So the end result? The war will continue and the Straits will remained closed, and most likely, the global economy suffers. And Trump will get the blame.
