He's not because he wants a deal, and to have a deal he has to talk to someone in charge, and the IRGC's in charge in Iran right now, and they don't make deals.

Give him another week; he's figuring it out.

I think there's a lot more at play than bombing Islamists. With other countries in the mix like China and Russia, and with a vast local Iranian population that are doing their best to take down the regime after being downtrodden so long, it wouldn't be easy doing enough to end the regime whilst preserving the Iranians that do not follow, or do not wish to follow the regime. It's those people in the country, on the ground, that will have to rebuild their country. With the money for oil and other commodities stopped from China along with replacement missiles, arms and ammo, Iran will be losing a lot of money and power daily. And who is Trump negotiating with currently. Who is the new leader of the regime, and are they physically and mentally competent? Are there a bunch of mini despots running about trying to jump into leadership shoes? Nothing there is a straightforward thing, and nobody in a war gives away their next moves.
