🚨🇺🇸 Trump EXPLODED at his own national security team over Iran… and his advisers still can’t agree on what the war is even for.

-Trump reportedly erupted during a meeting last week with top national security officials, yelling expletives out of frustration over his military options and his inability to close a deal, though Leavitt denies he lost his temper

-The deeper problem is that nobody agrees on the goal: preventing an Iranian bomb, reopening Hormuz, or wiping out the missile and drone program, and without that answer the endgame planning has gone nowhere

-One U.S. official’s blunt summary: “We have had a series of tactical victories, but are facing a strategic defeat without clear policy guidance or a decision about where this is going”

-A Trump ally who has spoken with him recently: “The president is exasperated. I don’t think he believed it was going to be this difficult… There was not a real strategy for how long or what they should do to get to the endpoint”

-The camps are drawn: Hegseth pushes hardest for major combat operations, Netanyahu also advocated force, while Vance has argued privately for diplomacy and Caine keeps raising what escalation would actually achieve

-The Israeli read on the relationship, from a senior official briefing reporters: Trump is the “senior” partner and Netanyahu the “junior”

-Expanded options including strikes on Iranian proxies land on Trump’s desk this week, with a Cabinet meeting set for Camp David on Friday

Six months in, the war has no agreed purpose, which is why it has no ending.

You cannot plan a way out of a conflict when the people running it are chasing three different finish lines.
