Trump isn't once to mince words for the most part.

I mean if he knew how to mince words I'm sure he would. I suspect his bluntness is largely based on him not being good at subtlety. Anyone who lies like he does who was good at subtlety would do it.
I don't think he's trying for a war though, but if he feels like the situation is getting away from him and his only option to save face is to start pounding the podium and demanding the Ayatollah's head on a plate he'd do it in a heartbeat.
