It is a very tricky situation. Thank you for analyzing it! The only question I have is, why does trump encourage something in Iran that he is trying to quell at home?

Good question!

To president Donald Trump:

Put up or shut up! Announce you will sink the entire Iranian navy in 24 hours if the killing does not stop. They know the USA has air superiority and could sink the lot and they need their navy. They know our B-2s and B-1 bombers could be over the ports and targets in less than 24 hours and our other fighter aircraft from bases in the region could pick off fleeing boats and ships. Whatever you do, do not act like a TACO on this.

Well he can’t promise something he’s not prepared to do, and I don’t think he’s prepared to go that far.

TACO strikes again.
