It seems Iran would rather blow up the entire ME region than give in to Trump and Isreal. My guess is that this scenario was given to Trump and he either didn't pay attention, didn't understand, he didn't believe it or he didn't care.

Regardless, Trump is never going to admit that he made a mistake.

Oil is high again and the oil companies are making money on oil that was probably pumped before we bombed Iran. And the are making off the backs of everyday working people.
