Trump has to get nuke and Strait of Hormuz issues sorted

If a deal between Iran and the US fails to sort out the nukes situation and control over the Strait of Hormuz, it will be no deal at all, and the war will have been waged for no reason. Yet it seems increasingly unlikely that Iran will ever agree to either of these Big Topics. So, if the second round of talks does go ahead in Islambad tomorrow, they will break down once again, like they did in the first round. Trump's war against Iran has caused immense damage but bombs are not going to solve these questions. Iran will continue to be able to hold the Strait to ransom and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps will find ways of enriching uranium to bomb-grade levels. No bombs will breach the underground bunkers that were built under Pixeaxe Mountain. The nuclear plant is nt yet finished but the bunkers where uranium-enrichment could take place are so far down, not even the Massive Ordnance Penetrator bomb dropped by B-2 stealth bombers could get to them. Only a tactical nuclear bomb could do that, and Trump cannot even contemplate using this sort of weapon! So one wonders what JD Vance, the vice president, and his fellow negotiators could come away with from the new talks that would satisfy anyone, let alone everyone. The war can be won because militarily the US is vastly superior to Iran. But the main objectives of the war - regime-change, an end to uranium-enrichment and a Strait of Hormuz without any form of interference by the IRGC, would seem to be beyond the US president.
