They know this will be embarrassing for them. Trump is so desperate to end the war he is willing to agree to anything as long as he can pretend he won. He'll pay Iran for vague assurances. If they develop a nuclear weapon in the next administration, he'll blame them and claim it never would have happened on his watch. All he cares about is saving face.
