Dumb move to have ordered it, and to publicly announce it.

This whole Iran saga is pretty stupid, and there's really no way that the US comes out of it looking good. By pulling out of an agreement that was both working and had significant international support, all while having no Plan B other than "let's impose crippling sanctions to **** up their economy," the US will be hard pressed to find any sort of international approval of attacking Iran.

I think Trump, or the people close to him, realize that. I'd wager that the overwhelming majority of Americans and countries not name Israel don't want war in Iran. Unless there is some sort of 9/11-esque event it will reflect very poorly on the current administration, as this is large a self-inflicted crisis.

I don't think Saudi Arabia would mind a war with Iran too much. But the rest is pretty profound.

Of course all this changes if they attacked (more) ships in the straight or shot down a bunch more stuff in International Air Space
