I still think you are failing to acknowledge the real culprit here was the Kurds.
The Trump Administration and Israel clearly had a plan in place to remove the Iranian government and had the Kurds done what they had promised this probably would have been over a few weeks after it started. But they didnt, they kept all the weapons they were given for themselves.
As much as I am sure Trump and his people would love to send in ground troops to wipe the Iranian mullahs off the map they know its political suicide and even worse it will also potentially cost us 1000's of military lives. They wanted the Iranian people to take the country back, not have to use our people for that.
It sucks, but this has the looks of another CIA failure (pretty sure it was reported they were the ones who were negotiating this with the Kurds). And when it comes to the CIA and deep staters, one almost has to wonder if this were botched on purpose.
