Read an book about spyware at the state sponsored level. The gist is that when Bush was handing over the office he called for a private meeting with Obama and said we were helping craft a nasty cyber virus. Obama listened and put the program on sterioids. Interesting tid bit. So we have wanted to slow or stop this for a while. I feel like this direction has hastened the future. Somebody is going to drop a nuke in the ME.
Reports indicate that the cyber virus designed to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, known as **Stuxnet** (or under the code name **"Olympic Games"**), was initiated under President George W. Bush and significantly accelerated by President Barack Obama. During the presidential transition in early 2009, President Bush advised President Obama to preserve the classified cyber program to avoid taking riskier military actions against Iran.

Except I bet that this time Oracle and palantir are rewarded with rebuilding contracts.
Trump is dumb but he has got advisors like Stephen miller and he’s got ~~friends~~ bosses like Larry Ellison and Peter Theil. Those two are building infrastructure all around the world.
Let’s not forget, Larry Ellison worked with the CIA in the 70’s— before he moved to China to help censor the tiannmen square massacre and integrate Chinas military, government, and private sectors into one department that oversaw the data of every citizen.
With the AI/technology race that is happening between the US and china, I would be willing to bet that ellison and theil and trump are willing to do anything to get American surveillance infrastructure in Iran.

For more costly, our ability to project power has been diminished globally.
The old world agreement was: US gets all the guns and bombs, but protects all sea travel.
Europe gets free Healthcare.
As it sits, we have already acknowledged we can't protect waterways, or our allies. Also, Iranian tolls will diminish the amount of dollars flowing back into our bonds and markets. They have become the big swinging d*** of the region. Whom everyone will have to pay protection money to, in order to cross the strait.
Funny how things change. We've been waging a shadow war against them for longer than I've been alive. Up until the bumbs started falling, they were willing to allow it for the sake of peace. We awoke a sleeping giant and he's not a morning person.

With Pakistani mediation both parties entered negotiations with different ideas, such as whether or not Hezbollah was included in the ceasefire. If you're looking for reliability it's whether or not the assets are released (or to a lesser extent if both parties are in agreement).
