I'm not so sure. The plan was market manipulation, and it seems that is going great. Iran is just a tool, he doesn't give a shit. If Iran actually attacks US on US ground ("terror" attacks), that's a bonus for Trump: ICE gets re-legitimized, xenophobia spikes, and just wait what he makes of that to push through authoritarian policies and meddling with the midterms.

Because they have absolutely no way to retaliate against the US? I mean they can activate terror cells but that isn't going to do any real damage. At most they could cause enough damage to truly infuriate the citizens of the US which wouldn't be great for Iran either.
The fundamental truth of the matter is that American power is rooted in having the strongest military in the world and Iranian power is rooted in the ability to negatively affect the economy of half the world. The US just isn't in that half and Trump doesn't give a single shit about his allies.
Iran will retaliate; there isn't any reason not to in an existential battle. It's just that Europe, Asia, and Africa will pay the price. Almost all the damage the US will suffer in this war will be damage to reputation.

Is anyone else starting to understand what the board of peace is about? It’s a protection racket. Trump is gonna do the smash and grabs just on principle. It has nothing to do with planning. It has nothing to do with anything geopolitical. It’s a global shakedown. Greenland was the threat that he couldn’t follow through on. Venezuela was the first taste. Iran, he thinks is not going to be a quagmire. Cuba he thinks is next. Of course, reality might collide with this four dimensional Queens in 1980s Mafia chess.

The scariest thing about our timeline can be found in Winston's recounts of the perpetual war between Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. I have no doubt that the US bombed Iran and also that it will never displace the guerilla forces entrenched. There will not be peace in the middle East. This is by design.
Perhaps the biggest unspoken truth in the whole Iranian war situation is that it's actually a propaganda war ON THE Americans BY Americans that Americans who don't know how to fight it or even that they are under attack. There are so many concurrent beliefs about the state of the war - none of which can be verified. In media, everything is a construction thus everything is deliberate.
The whole situation, flip flopping on communication etc. is absolutely contributing to a massive wealth and power transfer that does not benefit the common American.
So many are focusing on the carrot on a string dropped in front of them that nobody is even able to comprehend where the string goes or what they can do about it.

This is an existential war for Iran, they *tried* peace, they negotiated in good faith and their concessions were more than expected, but the US and Israel had no intention of finding peace. Iran *always* had the ability to throttle the world economy via the Strait of Hormuz, but they didn't recklessly exercise it. Even now they're using the Strait to selectively hurt the US and it's allies, it's a strategy to end global US hegemony by ending the petrodollar and the privilieges it brought (near infinite borrowing & money printing) the US has enjoyed and abused.

I get what you’re trying to express, but to pretend like Iran has tried peace and good faith negotiations is just not in line with history. You can take the negotiations of the last 30 years and see that they never live up to their end of the deal. They do whatever they can to stall to try to get nuclear weapons in order to maintain their tyrannical hold over the citizens of Iran.
The government of Iran is not the people of Iran.

That's a strawman? They negotiated for peace with US and Israel, and all reports suggest Iran gave the US & Israel what they wanted & more. How Iran tackles dissent internally is another issue altogether, one which wasn't a concern of the US & Israel. This isn't a conflict to liberate the Iranian people, it's one of middle eastern conquest.

Trump started the war and is heavily protected along with his family. Most of us do not want wars, and had no immediate problem with people just because they say they hate us for the last several decades. Yet, we are the ones who will suffer for Trump’s war. Russia is making money again win-win. Israel is using the US to defeat its enemy win-win. Trump makes out, but the American people do not.

Terrorist attacks on civilian shipping have always controlled choke points. You too can close down your local airport with a couple drones. It’s a bad war strategy and a desperate effort to end the war because it causes a coalition to turn against you. Targeting civilians as a course of war is not going to win you any friends.

Why do you think that’s undermining their strategy?
The strategy is being able to use their ability to pick and choose which ships get through. They can’t compete with the US and Israel in terms of military might, but they can use their ability to decide which ships get through to force US allies to act against US interests.
All it takes is for Iran to demand that the only ships that get through are those that are bound for locations that forbid US military to enter their airspace and not purchased in USD, it’ll hobble the US economy and its ability to project power
