Based on Trump’s NPD personality traits,

I’ll give a conclusion.
From the ever-deferred ultimatums, to negotiations carried out while applying pressure, and then the back-and-forth over conditions around the Strait of Hormuz—
All of this is showing one thing:
It’s not about deciding whether to fight, but about deciding how to wrap things up in a way that looks like a win.
In the end, whatever the result may be—
If they don’t fight, it means U.S. pressure succeeded, and the Strait of Hormuz is open.
If they continue fighting, it means the U.S. is carrying out strong enforcement, and the Strait of Hormuz isn’t open.
Anyway, in the narrative: Trump won, America won.
