The war is completely senseless anyway. Who knows what is going on in Trumps head but I am surprised that nobody in the pentagon has called for him to undergo psychiatric evaluation. After his tweets and posts that he makes it is quite disturbing.
my guess as to what's going on in Trumps head at the moment. Re-arm, re-stock & re group, prepare for the next stage whatever that entails. There will be a next stage whatever that entails, boots on the ground, maybe a specialised force to take the enriched uranium, it won't be possible to do a deal with the Iranians, fruitcakes.
The Iranians can't re-arm, their manufacturing capability has been destroyed, whatever they're still firing is only what remains in their last magazine. They have nothing to negotiate with.
The Hormuz Strait staying closed will benefit him, it will focus the minds of his main allies, the Gulf States, and focus the mind of his other enemy, China. The biggest loser in the Hormuz strait staying closed is China, Trump knows this.
Should be an interesting couple of weeks.
