And who can blame them?

Trump is a megalomaniac whose proclamations are posted on social media with bizarre memes, veering from threats of annihilation to statements that negotiations are near completion and the war (or is it excursion) is essentially over.

Before it started the two sides were in mediation, then "Epic Fury" was suddenly launched. Iran's leader was killed along with many others including ~160 schoolchildren.

Trump simply can't be trusted to negotiate in good faith, and the longer this goes on, the worse it is for him politically and for the US and most of the world economically. Other countries, including our allies whom Trump has already alienated, are blaming him.

Iran is punishing the USA, and it doesn't seem there is much this unhinged incompetent regime can do about it.
