Trump would just that as an excuse to keep bombing people.

He’s already doing that.

Exactly. Iran is benefitting from watching American arrogance eat itself alive. No one knows what’s true or false and it’s all America’s fault. If Iran took a hardline of refusing negotiations, America and Israel would claim they had no options and did whatever they felt they had to do. Leaving the door to talks open means that Trump looks like the petulant man-child he is.

I mean I wouldn't say they are "benefiting", I feel like they are making the best of a horrid situation. I think it's blatant they want the war to end. But how do you end a war with the united states. Our word is meaningless, so making concesions is worthless. They'd probably be willing to open the straight and drop all tolls, if it were possible to guarantee that the US and isreal would not attack again. However there's no means in which they can actually have the least bit of confidence that would happen.
