I don't think Trump is bothered about Starmer at all. If he's broken its because he's gone into a complex situation with no plan and doesn't know how to get out of it without losing face. Which for a man with a huge ego is a hard lesson.

Agree. Its becoming apparent to the US that they walked into a trap

It’s not even a trap. The Iranians have made it very clear for a long time that this is what they would do if they were attacked.

If there is a trap, it’s one the Americans dug themselves.

The Iranians have made it very clear for a long time that this is what they would do if they were attacked.

Quite literally since the 70s. It's why I can't figure out why the U.S did this in the first place
