the mistake iran is making is that it thinks it has some chance to win, but it's not exactly a mistake. it's mass suicide. if iran had any chance of success at all, it would be right to treat trump with contempt.

they'd rather die.

they think they're going to heaven.

it's like heaven's gate, or jonestown.

they're going to blow themselves up instead of negotiate, and trump is either too stupid or too senile to get it. but they're also running out of time, and the americans will be in there soon enough.
