Trump's Murky Messages on Iran War Fuel Uncertainty
As the US-Iran conflict rages on, Trump's shifting rhetoric leaves many questions unanswered about the war's goals, duration, and civilian casualties.
Donald Trump's mixed messages on the ongoing war with Iran have left the American public with more questions than answers. More than a week into the escalating conflict, the president has provided little clarity on how this crisis might ultimately be resolved.
Trailing Air Force One as it headed to Florida, Trump struggled to articulate a cohesive strategy, wavering between tough talk of victory and ambiguity about the war's objectives. What would constitute a successful outcome, and how long the fighting could last, remained largely unanswered.
Particularly concerning are reports of a deadly strike on a girls' elementary school that has become an early symbol of the war's civilian toll. Whether the US was responsible for this tragedy is a critical question that Trump has so far failed to address directly.
