I would think the last thing in the world Trump wants to do is destroy Pars Island. Do that and oil prices go through the roof, who knows the effects it would have on the economy. Prices went up 4% with the attack on Qatar. Seems to me trump has gotten himself into a strange situation. It's like building a fire in a gunpowder factory. You start a war but at the same time you have to ensure oil flow and infrastructure. It's crazy, the effect of just small disruptions in oil production. His speel has been improving the economy and now he's gambling destroying it, and with the midterms coming up.
And the deal is the Iranians understand this. What is the motivation for them to as Donald puts it, cry uncle? It's in their best interest to prolong the war, not end it. The longer this goes on the worse it is for the republicans. And with no clear explanation why it was undertaken in the first place. I don't think it's clear who's holding the cards at this point. It does not seem to have been well thought out
