If you think about misdirection during wartime to keep the enemy unstable... Trump may be purposely throwing chaos into the Iranian leaders.
Iran allowed 8 or 10 oil tankers to go through the Straight of Hormuz untouched because they flew the Pakistani flag.
There might never have been any agreement between the U.S. and anyone in the Iranian leadership to allow those ships through. They let them through because they were Pakistani ships.
However, now Trump has "proof" that he has been negotiating secretly with various Iranian leaders... because "they allowed those 8 or 10 ships to go through".
Now Iran has to figure out which of their leaders gave that order? Is Iran going to allow ANY more ships to go through under ANY flag... because they won't know who negotiated that ship passage with the U.S. or Israel?
Basically... cause chaos and infighting within the Iranian government... and use their own actions to supply proof of secret negotiations going on.
