This assumes the USA should be at war with Iran. I think Trump feels duped, and wants to get things back to some sort of stability as soon as he can.
He really doesn't want a ground war.

This is an incredible spin on this whole fiasco.
I cannot emphasize enough how understated I am being when I say this: I expect our president to be capable of accurately assessing the consequences of military engagement with foreign nations, and if he is so easily "duped" he is unfit to continue in the position.
Perhaps he should be spending less time lining his own pockets with crypto scams, pump and dump schemes, insider trading, and paid access to his tweets. There was no shortage of advisors who could have warned him that this was an asinine plan.
In his own words, so I guess you would have to take them at face value whether that was zero or some other number. More likely negative numbers like during the business ventures that made him well-known to begin with.
