You have no idea what you are talking about. Iran's economy is centered around three oil refineries. Their GNP shrank by ten percent last year. They have had millions of their citizens protesting their government this year due to the economy going into a nosedive. Without those refineries their economy goes into the shitter. Trump knows it, Pompeo knows it, the Iranian regime knows it and the Iranian regime knows we know it. Meanwhile the U.S. is currently the world's number one producer of fossil fuels. We don't need to buy their oil but they damn sure need someone to sell it to. Any air strike at any of those refineries cripples Iran's economy and the U.S. has the capability to take them out any time we damn well please. Iran also knows that. You can't be in a position of more strength than the U.S. is now in regards to dealing with Iran.
