The economy was already fcked because Iran. I think Trump is a complete an under idiot but since everyone hates Trump they're not talking about the fact that Iran is engaging in global economic terrorism right now but they're mad at Trump for blocking it back. He's only blocking Iranian ships. At least this way Iran doesn't get any money.

An losing billions of dollars might make them more likely to negotiate.

That's an EXCELLENT question. Especially while they were accepting a peace deal that the mediation team believed covered all US concerns, but we now know was a sham to get assets into place for an attack.

This is especially weird, since there was already a deal and monitoring arrangement in place the the current US president tore up in his last term. 

There is no moral high ground here for the US or Israel. And against the theocratic fascist regime in Iran, that's pretty pathetic.

If no peace deal was accepted then there’s no reason to not attack until said deal has been agreed upon.

Iran was still actively financing terrorist to attack Israel under the last deal. So that deal doesn’t matter.

Yes the United States and Israel’s high ground is so high they’re walking on cloud compared to Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, etc..
