Trump's Iran "plan" has essentially deteriorated into adopting the Israeli strategy of mowing the lawn. An agreement appears to have been reached with Israel that the US and Israel will continue to bomb Iran for another 2-3 weeks, and after that, they will declare the war over without an agreement on the Straits of Hormuz. Note that Lindsey Graham has called for the war to end in 2-3 weeks and that Netanyahu has stated that oran no longer constitutes an existential threat. The first time in his life that Netanyahu had uttered such a sentence. During this period, as much senseless destruction as possible will be pursued in order to "bomb Iran back to the Stone Age." But this achieves nothing but putting the US into a state of eternal war with Iran. Trump himself has stated that the next President will have to bomb Iran as well. The textbook definition of a forever war. But the events of the past 48h - with several US planes shot down inside Iran - show that even this nonsensical plan is unlikely to work as it assumes a steady and controllable level of escalation.
