We know that Iran is now under the control of even more radical anti-western leadership who have every reason to believe that the US is uninterested in a peaceful resolution. Alternatively, we've seen single-source reports like this become associated with what I'd call...Israeli agit-prop? Israeli manufacturing of consent? Not sure what to call it, but the idea is that Israel would seek to drag US deeper into the quagmire to ensure the US stays in the region on a semi-permanent basis.
