Hawzah News Agency- Trump is left with a vexing question: How do you end a war when your opponent won’t budge?
Iran seems hell-bent on pulling off something it’s historically done well: humiliating an American president.
Trump never thought it would turn out like this. After the impressive military operation to snatch Nicolás Maduro from Caracas, the president set his eyes on Iran, telling confidants that it would “be another Venezuela,” a pair of outside advisers told me.
Patience is not Trump’s strength. One outside adviser, who speaks with him regularly, told me the president is “bored” with the war. Others believe he is frustrated at Iran’s intransigence. And while Trump at times feels detached from the political concerns of his party, Republicans have been inundated with complaints about rising prices, particularly at the gas pump.
For weeks now, Trump has blustered about resuming attacks but, each time, has found a way to back down.
Another round of talks slated for the end of last month never happened, because the Iranian delegation left Islamabad before American officials could arrive. It was an unmistakable rebuke.
