Because Trump in some cases has the direct power to make words into action. For example bombing Iran's power plants - that happens if Trump tells his generals to make it happen (after purging the general staff, of course).
Iran has more cards because they have been bombing energy infrastructures across the Middle East and restricting the vessels that go through the strait. I would be more rejoicing if Iran agreed to stop the attacks for an actual ceasefire.
