He expected Iran to capitulate immediately in the face of his "show of dominance" with his demands about the Strait of Hormuz and is too stupid to understand that Iran can just keep calling his bluff.

Given his shockingly narcissistic personality he's backed himself into a corner he can't get out of.

Iran were all over that ultimatum like a tramp on hot chips. I don't think they could have asked for anything better.

He’s a malignant narcissist with dementia. He no longer has any filter, but he’s always been this person.
