Notwithstanding the points of commonality discussed in my last post, the Iran war is unique in two respects. First, Trump made no effort to obtain public support in America prior to the war, and he has done just about everything possible to alienate everyone outside of Israel since then. This is a war started by an autocrat for autocracy, just like Putin in Ukraine. Second, Trump never came close to committing the forces necessary to accomplish regime change. This, presumably, is because he thinks he is omnipotent, so nothing could possibly go wrong.
