Trump's conflicting messages sow confusion [& disbelief] over the #IranWar

#Trump says the #US is winning the #war with #Iran even as thousands of additional American #troops deploy to the #MiddleEast.
He has pilloried other countries for not helping the US, only to say later he does not need their assistance. He has 2X delayed deadlines for Iran to reopen the #StraitOfHormuz.

"The Iran conflict has been sold to the public as a story with a clear objective, to stop their nuclear program, punish its proxies, restore deterrence, and then, by magic, stability reigns. But when you dig deeper, you don’t find a coherent plan; you find a chaotic conflict with no endgame. There is no path toward resolution, but rather an endless catastrophe."

"The father of a dead U.S. serviceman has denied claims by Pete Hegseth that he told the Defense Secretary to 'not stop until the job is done' – referring to the war in Iran.

'No, I didn’t say anything along those lines,' Charles Simmons told NBC News in an interview Thursday, recalling his encounter with Hegseth at the Dover Air Force Base in Delaware."
