Trump And The Iran Nettle Fable

-
Fable About Pain and Action: The Boy and the Nettle:
A boy is stung because he touches a nettle gently. He is told that if he grasps it firmly, it will be as soft as silk.
The Moral: Timid or half-hearted approaches to challenges often cause more pain and trouble than bold, decisive action.
(The George Patton rule of armored warfare.)

Trump’s firm action on Iran has been followed by a half-hearted “come to Jesus” approach that has Not been working.
Iran’s counter proposals, by the fanatic Mullah’s, have been pathetic and disrespectful at best.
-
An Option: The dependent-users of the Straights of Harmos should take-over control and free&safe passage of movement through the straights.
If they can’t ‘negotiate’ that agreement with The Mullah’s then it will be their choice to either ‘fight or go around or pay’.
The buried nuclear material can be viewed by satellites and guarded by missiles launched from submarines or satellites.
We have lots of western-hemisphere oil and domestic-energy. Time to disengage and come home.
