US-Israel Preparations to Compel Iran to Abandon its Nuclear Ambitions

In two military campaigns over the last eleven months the Islamic Republic of Iran has suffered major setbacks and lost many of its leadership and military assets, but is yet to concede defeat to the superior offensive power of the US-Israel Alliance.

What happened between these two campaigns can be marked as a failure of deterrence, so what takes place now is the challenge of compellence. President Trump sounds determined to pursue his key goals, and at the top of that list is making sure that Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons.
So how exactly will he go about this? And what are the possibilities and potential?
