Could the Iran war resume soon, and what events might trigger it?

Though calling it a "deal" helps Trump for the midterms and gives Iran a propaganda victory. It's only an agreement to speak, a ceasefire extension, and to open the hormuz. That being said, the optics are terrible for the US. It's doubtful much will be achieved through negotiations. The MOU is not binding and the US and Iran have been negotiating from opposite POVs. Many argue that the MOU is simply about opening the strait of hormuz. Witkoff often pushes using talks like this to get things moving. That being said, I doubt it's the end. Trump is likely concerned about the economic downfall for midterms. Israel will not let down in Lebanon. Iran will simply not negotiate away It's nuclear program when Trump appears conflicted or weak. My opinion is the war will either be forced to resume soon due to disagreements over Lebanon or after months of pointless negotiations. It's also very likely more significant operations will be carried out after midterms when Trump no longer has to worry about losing his base or impeachment. Leaving this conflict in its current situation is a very serous strategic mistake for Trump. If it stays this way, and the MOU goes through, he will likely go down as being worse than Buchanan who is responsible through inaction for the Civil War, the bloodiest conflict in American history.
