No idea unfortunately. I’m not a military minded person besides basic logistics so I could only speculate badly. My assumption is that Iran sees more value in punishing the gulf monarchs then doing direct damages to the US which could escalate things to a degree they may not want yet. Striking the GCC makes them more likely to eventually stop making deals with the US altogether, which is more of a medium to long-term goal for Iran.
I guess Iran understands they control the pace of this war, and dragging it out might make transitioning the region away from the US easier. Iran tends to be thinking in terms of the day after the war is something I’ve noticed.
Isn’t the war unpopular in USA? Sinking of a destroyer or a Cruiser would be a severe blow to Epstein Regime’s propaganda about Iran having lost all missiles or whatever.
What have the people of the US ever one to stop a war in a timely manner? At worst, it makes Trump look bad as the empire rages out against Iran, but in q couple years time he and his clique will likely be out of power, and the average Yankee will accept it as a new slate.
That being said, Iran has started to threaten to attack US Naval assets:
