Iran has done a lot of damage across the region.

Trump starts a war of choice but doesn’t prepare obvious strategic targets in advance. If Trump and friends went long oil before the war, as I believe they did, wouldn’t damage to oil infrastructure be good for them? Is it possible they wanted this infrastructure taken out?
