what evidence is there, to suggest that a more polished, academic, diplomatic president, would get better results with Iran. Carter was a very nice man, right? Iran steamrolled him, humiliated him, made him look like a castrated eunuch.

How about the JCPOA. A deal sanctioned by the global community, a deal that Trump's own Jim Mattis praised as having robust enforcement and a deal that the IAEA said was working as planned.
It didn't fix everything but was a solid foundation to address significant issues. Now we're flirting with a conflict that could easily spiral out of control. I do wonder how much SA is really behind most of this. |

what about that deal ( sincere question) would have incentivized them not to attack the tankers?

I know of no other deal other than the 12 items of total capitulation demanded by John Bolton via the State Department. |
