Maybe POTUS Trump wants the international community to lash out and say "you can not do that" so that Iran, Oman and any other country who wishes to do the same hear loud and clear.

Anything is possible but do you consider that likely? Or was he just talking crap and it backfired? Do you think Iran cares what the international community thinks? They’ve told the IAEA to frick off when it comes to inspecting their nuclear facilities.

b. Trump already tried the insurance angle and it failed

This of course is false. Trump secured the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) by Chubb to provide insurance after LLoyd's decided it would try and raise rates on and limit liability.

The insurance is still in place under that plan.

How did it backfire or what has backfired? Please, do tell.

Let’s start with you answering my question regarding whether or not you even find what you posted to be likely. How believable do you find your own scenario? Answer that and I’ll explain my statement.
