He'll say "I did what I went there to do, in record time, and *I WON*"

Then add "but we'll be back to bomb them into oblivion under any of the following conditions" which will include things like any heavy bombing of Israel, fucking with any ships in the Strait, beginning to enrich uranium, etc. IOW he'll just "declare the terms" of the cease-fire himself and hope that Iran is scared to break them moving forward.

I'm in no way certain, of course, it's just what I lean toward thinking he'll do. It's also rather what I hope will happen because US boots on the ground would SUCK.
