It hasn't happened yet, September 2019, but we have a year more with Trump.

His chuminess with Saudi Arabia could be the trigger.

An added dimension is the whole "nuke" thing. Here's a recent article from foreignpolicy.com

Imho it is unlikely there will be a (US) war with Iran at least for the time being because both sides know how far they can go without risk of crossing the line
