The actions of authoritarian governments rarely do. They're honestly not concerned with long-term thinking or benefit. Because they don't need to be. It does not benefit them personally to do that extra work.

"""Authoritarian""" governments (really, all governments) are concerned with the continuation of their authority. Iran, it seems, is so desperate to work with the US that it will try over and over again, despite always getting back-stabbed shortly after. See also: the nuclear deal. It's short sighted and it never works, but they keep doing it. You'd think they'd learn!
