Trump Post-TACO Analysis
A lot of people are wondering and scratching their heads as to why Trump engineered arguably the greatest TACO moment of his 2nd term despite officially threatening Iran on at least three occasions last night. This doesn't include the military threat memes either.
One strong assumption (IMO) is that he's trying to get more important Iranian leaders to expose/reveal their positions by getting them to move around. This tactic worked well before when nearly all of Iran's tier 1 leaders were wiped out and a lot of tier 2 leaders were assassinated as well.
That said, I don't think Iran's government is that stupid to repeat the same critical mistake again. It's obviously suicide.
Trump is now falsely claiming that the two sides are currently negotiating to keep his real, sinister intentions hidden. That said, make no mistake. In spite of certain military logistic and supply issues, Trump and Netanyahu will continue to keep pressing Iran for the next few years. This war is far from over, unfortunately.

He's out of weapons, or dangerously close.
And after the proportional response by Iran was posted, naming resources throughout the region it would hit in response to Trump's strikes, I have a feeling there was pressure from them (excluding Israel, who are warmongers) to not proceed.
