We say to our enemies: "Things will not be fine."
"Trust in God, everything will be fine" is a "code" derived from the sum of our experience in dealing with ruling gangs. When—after your exhausting efforts in following up with "law enforcement agencies"—you receive a phrase like this, be certain that you are standing before a node of a "gang" stretching across a vast footprint of governing institutions. The matter is not as simple as you think; to receive a phrase like this, you must be "frightening, terrifying," possessing the means to expose this gang. A gang that relies on alerts... and underlings—there is a difference between the two—to ensure you are given no opportunity to obtain any information or response.
They believe the matter ends here, stumbling over the rapid exchange of communications that precedes your arrival, indicating that you have reached a certain point they must confront and guard against in the future. These "fools" believe they are protected and will be "left alone," but their retribution will be what they are about to witness.
In light of the moves by regional countries—specifically Turkey, which seeks to assert a military stature against NATO, the United States, and Europe by seizing control of the region, capitalizing on the complexity of events with Iran—and in contrast to the rest of the region's need to rid itself of Turkish Islamic influence that forces the Islamization of relations, along with fears of Islamic groups infiltrating (which is one of the main reasons for Egypt's caution regarding joining any bloc that would keep it under its control, even if such an alignment actually occurred).
Faced with all of this, and given the difficulty of his strikes achieving any military result—no matter how minor—Trump finds himself in a predicament requiring rapid, even "rash" action that goes beyond his cautious strategy of waiting for either a "decisive strike or a push toward negotiations" against Iran. And since the American, in general, possesses the trait of "personification and assimilation"—being French with the French, Russian with the Russian, Arab with the Arab, and so on.
And since he failed to be Iranian with Iran, and since Trump seeks to spite Obama—who perfected the "burning" of the Arab world—in a manner he intends to be more effective than the idea of the "Arab Spring," he found himself compelled to draw upon the experiences of "our countries." When the idea of "trust in God, everything will be fine" flashed before his eyes—eyes distracted by the contrast between his wife's beauty and Obama's ugliness—it quickly exhausted its frail substance just a few days after his repeated claims that the Strait of Hormuz would open today or tomorrow.
This comes alongside Iran's ability to manipulate the strait negotiations with Oman and detach them from its actual reopening—which Trump had promised—according to statements from the Revolutionary Guard and Zulfiqar, which restricted its reopening strictly to Iran's own calculations, as well as Araqchi's retreat from the previous plan to open the strait in favor of adopting a new one.
Added to this is Trump's repeated failure to rely on regional countries—particularly Arab ones, whose tactics Barack cautioned him about—to push them into direct confrontation with Iran, as well as the slippery nature of Turkey, which slid into the region's void after slipping through Trump's hands. All of this will compel Trump to abandon his idea of stabilizing regimes and extending dreams of economic zones and stability that brought him nothing but woes.
