1) Iran will make a vague statement that someday somehow it will start thinking about maybe not having a nuclear weapon, but there would be no inspections and no penalty for noncompliance because there will be nothing specific that Iran is required to do. 

2) The US and Iran will agree to become pirate nations. Henceforth any ship that wishes to pass through The Strait of Hormuz without being attacked must hand over protection money, the extorted payments being split between the US and Iran. 

3) He Who Must Not Be Named will try to spin this devastating defeat into "the greatest victory of all time". 

4) His spin will be successful, at least among his hard-core followers, because they are hardwired to always believe anything he says. 

I could be wrong but that is my guess, I'd be interested if anybody else has one.

Good prescience John, except on one minor point.  Extorted payments will be split between Iran and Trump.

Depressingly so, but you seem to be on the money John.
