The thing to remember about Iran is it's a country run by religious fanatics. Ask a secular democracy if they would trade the lives of most of their political and military leaders for a 10% boost to GDP and they would look at you like you're insane. Ask 86 year old Ali Khamenei if he would trade dying from an Israeli bomb landing on his house for Iran establishing a stranglehold on global oil trade and securing $100 billion in annual toll revenue, and he would have been ecstatic.

the US killed an old man and his family, and also a bunch of people who'd already written all of their handoff docs

Not really that hard when the alternative is the regime collapsing and/or giving up their nuclear program?
