At risk of turning this into a more Trump than Iran post, Is it possible (likely even) that Trump thought he could demonstrate 'the art of the deal' by going 'all in' on making it look like he was preparing to give Iran a bloody nose but that it was all a bluff and Iran has effectively called it? If that is the case, the US Commander In Chief now has some difficult choices to make and I hope that wise heads around him will stand their ground and ensure that a good military decision is made the priority.
