Trump Needs a New Iran Strategy

 https://www.wsj.com/opinion/donald-trump-iran-middle-east-israel-strait-of-hormuz-a4e249ca?mod=hp_opin_pos_1

After weeks of insisting a deal with Iran is around the corner, President Trump may be admitting the reality. The regime is “tapping the U.S. along” in negotiations, he said Wednesday. The President has given diplomacy a chance, but “they keep playing us for suckers,” he added. Is Mr. Trump ready at last for a new approach?

For nine weeks, the cease-fire has let Iran dictate events in the Gulf. The regime gets to start each “skirmish”—shooting at U.S. forces, U.S. allies, or commercial ships—and then decide when the exchange ends. Iran has also used Hezbollah to fire on Israel, only to cite the resulting fighting in Lebanon as an excuse to stall talks with the U.S

  1. No matter what he does, it's the wrong thing.
    He starts a war? Wrong move! It'll just make things worse and innocent people will die!
    He gets a ceasefire and doesen't immediately rush to restart the war when it expires but keeps going in the hopes of negotiations? What a sucker! The Iranians are playing him!
    And now if he goes back and finished off Iran? See! He was just waiting for an excuse to ound Iran and kill innocent civilians all along!
