The world primarily views USA federal leadership as inexperienced and ungainly. No one really wants to deal with the current administration because it doesn't make policy but only military threats. The exception is Russia which has been testing it's limits in new ways. The Russian threats to the Western Hemisphere and USA borders are tolerated by Trump, but, when it comes to Iran there is zero allowance for patience, including a dissolved participation in an international treaty that served the purpose of peace in the Middle East.

...The Iranian president, (click here) Hassan Rouhani, replied on Tuesday that Iran had no desire for conflict.
“Iran will not wage war against any nation,” Rouhani said in a speech broadcast live on state TV. “Those facing us are a group of politicians with little experience.”...
The inexperience and bombastic behaviors and priorities of Trump and his administration is not only viewed as internationally inappropriate but, also as easily taken advantage of by leaders such as Kim Jong Un. They toy with him. Trump is not an important international partner. He has no policies. He has an empty piece of land named after him in anticipation of Israeli expansionism. That is what he understands and seeks. His ego is stroked by international leadership. There is no SERIOUS ANYTHING in the Trump administration. His behavior is supreme and it is nothing but hubris, domestically and abroad. He demands loyalty because he is an empty shell and uses retaliation in order to maintain any hold on power.
Supposedly there are 1000 more USA soldiers needed in the Middle East for security reasons. EXACTLY. (click here) ...Katyusha rockets fell on Camp Taji," Camp Cooke and Balad air base.... Katyusha rockets really need defenses like B52 bombers.
...On Tuesday, the US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, is also due to visit the Florida headquarters of US Central Command (in charge of all operations in the Middle East) and US special forces.
It is unusual for a secretary of state to visit military headquarters, especially as the acting defence secretary is reported to be staying in Washington. Pompeo has taken the lead role in the administration’s campaign of “maximum pressure” on Iran, since the US withdrawal from a multilateral nuclear deal in May last year....
Is Pompeo receiving two salaries, Defense Secretary and Secretary of State?
Trump readied his USA military in the Middle East for WW III, not terrorism. At this point the USA in Iraq is defending themselves, if this escalates out of control, Iraqis will start to die again. Iraq is not an ironclad safe haven for the USA military. This is 2003 all over again.
How many of layers of blast walls exist today between the people of Iraq and the USA military? Six? I think six was the last count.
