Iran has figured out it can make the US president look like an idiot over and over at relatively low cost to themselves, since they're already so thoroughly excluded from the rest of the world.
Iran is Lucy, Trump is Charlie Brown, and the Straight of Hormuz is the football

The real question is why does this make Grump look like an idiot any more than the numerous other idiotic things he's already done.
Because this time his error is at a new level. Many countries had seen their strategic reserves of gasoline seriously reduced and about to disappear, and the fertilizers (that they need to feed their population in the next year) never arrived on time. His so called "little excursion" could kill much more people than any other of his former actions. For no reason or benefit.
And Israel isn't helping at all. They backstabbed Biden when he needed their help most in the elections, and are backstabbing Trump when he is desperate for the midterms. Everybody can see that Bibi plays Trump like a violin.

Unlike most times this affects people’s pocketbooks- the only real political motivation.
Approval still rides at 37%, which is pretty decent given the amount of turmoil that has been unleashed

I think it is about making US pressure Israel and eventually rupturing that relationship. Meanwhile, Israel is trying to sabotage the peace process and dont care about that relationship.
