He had no coherent strategy.

He has a strategy. It would not be politically acceptable to say it out loud, but he has a strategy.

The Iran operation is, at least, 50% about enriching big oil. It's a happy coincidence, that "Bibi" wants to knock off the Iranian regime.

How do I figure this?

Trump is not actively participating in the Israeli operation to lay waste to Lebanon, like Saint Reagan did, so Trump is not entirely acting as a bought dog of Israel.

The more I see, the more sure I am the Iranian op is entirely about taking other people's production off line, to enrich big oil. That is why Trump the Conqueror is not going all in on overthrowing the Iranian regime quickly. The stalemate, with a blocked Strait, is the desired outcome. That requires the current Iranian regime stay in place, to provide the casus belli.
