The Iran war hasn’t gone well for President Donald Trump since, well, shortly after it began.
Despite extensive US military attacks and economic pressure, Iran hasn’t felt the need to capitulate to Trump’s demands. And even when there have been ceasefires with favorable terms for Iran, Tehran still didn’t abide by them.
But Trump’s headaches with the war are mounting. And many of them extend beyond the battlefield and the negotiating table.
Some of the recent developments:
Trump’s newly reported secret plane switch in Turkey due to a potential Iranian threat is raising major questions about the administration using staff and media as decoys. The revelation is also undercutting the administration’s claims about Iran’s diminished capabilities and leading to mockery of Trump, including by Iranian state media.
