President Regan’s “Trust, but verify” warning about the Russians came because he knew we couldn’t trust them with a glass of water. If we call ourselves the winner in this recent problem with the Iranians, who have proven themselves to be far less trustworthy than even the Soviet Commies, then we deserve to find ourselves back in the middle of yet another “endless” war.

Preferably at the hands of the Persians who desire to return to the civilized world.
Don’t trust and watch for when they cheat.

They’ll sit there and listen and then they’ll show you their butt and push your drink off the table.
