Energy markets were about to cause a world wide recession if not depression as we were about a month away from running out of reserves. Trump even said the quiet part out loud about the reserves.

So if Trump didn’t want to bomb Iran back to a preindustrial society, kudos to him for not committing a war crime, but coming out of the other end of that decision is Iran having nuclear power plants. Maybe. They don’t actually have the technical capacity to do it because they are mostly retards, but in the end it becomes not his problem anymore.
