Going by his track record, he would probably give up, and ‘admit victory’.

Only reason he isn't using nukes is he can't. For some reason. Maybe generals won't do it. Idk. But it's not cause he doesn't want to. He does.

There's no positive end game in it for him. If he turns this into a "Look at what you made me do!"-moment, he will have nothing but enemies and they'll all know that nothing will ever please him, which is dangerous for them. Thus, their only option will be to assassinate him shortly after. Either by Iran getting back at him with a dirty bomb, or the Saudis getting pissed about the oil prices dropping and making a Diana out of him, or even by some lunatic MAGA who "didn't vote for this". Literally _everyone_ would be out to take him out, and he has nothing to gain from it. If he realizes this, then no. His best option is to chicken out. He will claim to have reached a tremendous deal with Pakistan that stopped him from bombing Iran out of his own kindness and generosity, and he will mispronounce all the words.

Think yes, there literally is no limit. His brain is pudding and ego. Pray, no. He doesn't have the actual means to carry out the threat
