Very often, foreign military conflicts are linked to domestic corruption. President Trump knows this. What he is doing by decapitating the Iranian regime is ending the excuse to make war, make contracts, and make money. It’s rigged. The president has no desire to destroy Iran or to engage in a prolonged conflict. He wants to end it and make peace. And another aspect is that he doesn’t want corrupt American officials to have a place to park money in a disguised form.
