The reasoning would be: You're right. They don't care. But he will never voluntarily release them and it results in maximum embarrassment.

It wouldn't be a sincere negotiating tactic but it works because they don't need to negotiate.

This. Imagine a condition for terms of surrender is to unredact and release all files. And the Trump administration openly says "no" to that?

That would be a TERRIBLE admission by the administration

But Iran does need to negotiate. They are being bombed quite a lot right now. Iran is not going to surrender, but they would prefer not to get bombed. Antagonizing Trump is not going to help Iran.

Negotiating with Trump is like negotiating with Putin. It's a pointless theatre that Trump is would do for the benefit of spectators, but with no actual value for Iran because you absolutely cannot believe anything Trump says.

They don't need to negotiate, they needed to be left the fuck alone in the first place, but Trump, like daddy Putin, is incapable of rational thoughts anymore.
Looks like the special operation is gonna last at least until next election, at this rate.

This shooting war is going to end some way, eventually. And the ending is going to be some form of diplomacy, implicit or explicit. Even just agreeing to pretend each other don't exist is a form of diplomacy.

The only case where Iran should not care about pissing off Trump, was if the US was totally annihilated. Trump is a madman with a nuclear suitcase.
