My speculation only:
-Hezbollah enters the conflict (just happened)
-US joins the conflict before or after Iran (order may vary - some "special operation" could be carried out, Iran declare war and then US officially enters)
-POTUS is the CIC
-Only after US officially is in war, TRUMP is voted speaker of the house
-POTUS and harris impeached
-TRUMP command in chief, ends the war, clean this mess and is voted new POTUS in a free and fair election (an easier win than now)
