I think its rather more complex than that, 1) There have been "hawks"in the republican party and possibly the military itching to attack iran and with Trump and his cronies there are no wise heads advising against. 2) Trump is in deep trouble domestically and in his simple minded way thinks this military action will distract from that. 3) Trump is basically a simpleton and a likes wielding military power, without much thought to the consequences or even any idea as to the end game. A very dangerous person to be in charge.

I see now through his social media he is supposedly asking other countries including China to send ships to protect ships in the Strait of Hormuz!! Asking other countries to resolve the problems his ill thought out and illegal war has created.

One can only hope that there is a domestic backlash against him, which brings about his downfall. Certainly there are signs of dissention between both within the Republican party and his MAGA base.

I see that many anti regime Iraninas both at home and abroad are seeing that Trump has no plan and that his actions are making things worse not better in the country.
