It also would stoke accurate claims that Trump's decision to attack Iran made things worse. He'd look like he was completely outplayed, which would be a completely fair assessment.

That shouldn’t even be a consideration in any negotiations. If Trump had just spent 15 minutes watching his own campaign speeches from 2024 he would have known better than to get involved in this clown show in the first place.

We're not talking negotiations -- we're talking about how Trump responds to a breach of the agreement. Also, I was responding to another poster's claim that Iran charging tolls "is not a problem". I think that at least politically, it is a major problem for Trump and for Republicans. It's also a problem in terms of how the rest of the world, allies and otherwise, would perceive Trump's judgment and willingness to follow through on threats. Essentially, a different version of Obama's "red line" that was never enforced.
