It's a simple as a moron failing to observe that Iran is too big to invade on a whim. That's it.

It is called Risk Homeostasis, it is when you do something risky but do not experience the negatives. It is like driving through red traffic lights, if you do it 10 times and you do not have a crash then you start to think that you can ignore red lights. The risks and dangers are still there but you have just been lucky, until you aren't.
Trump has always had this mentality of, you can do awful things and get a lot of media attention but if it gets to hot then you can just back down. Iran is the one thing he cannot back down from and has no escape strategy. It is going to be the biggest of the black marks on Trumps legacy. Considering a lot of what he has done on the international stage, that is pretty damning.
Risk Desensitization would have been a lot better.
Homeostasis is the maintenance of a desirable home or set point.
Cell types are maintained by homeostasis, if we ignore gametes and white blood cells all the cells share the same genome, but the cell state (predominantly cell contents, i.e. concentrations in the cell and vacuoles) determines how the organism cell reacts and allows the cell to "remember" what type of cell it is, so the desirable feedback is towards multiple local loss minima each corresponding to a cell type, think spontaneous symmetry breaking.
One wouldn't say a cancer cell performs homeostasis with respect to the tissue, even if some bacterium or innate mutation drives it out of normal behavior.
