      The Iran war has points, namely preventing a dedicated American enemy from getting nuclear weapons, contributing to Trump's legacy, and probably something to do with Israel. The problem is that it can't be won with current USA capabilities and everyone not in MAGA already knew this yet Trump started it anyway. The Ukrainians even offered drone defences before it started and were publically rebuffed by Trump. The ignorance and hubris of the Trump administration is truly remarkable.

         By killing the anti-nuclear leadership of such country and proving their opponents points that only nukes could protect them from the USA...

            I'm not claiming the Trump admin is capable in the pursuit of their goals, only that they had some.
