President Donald Trump seems committed to negotiating a deal with Iran. A June 3 Wall Street Journal article claimed, “President Trump has told aides privately that he would consider ending the ceasefire with Iran if Tehran kills American troops,” but he says “the weekslong pause in air strikes remains intact despite a steady stream of violent skirmishes.” He consistently says he wants a deal where Iran never has a nuclear weapon, the Strait of Hormuz is open for world trade, and the wider war, including the war between Israel and Hezbollah, is over.
To President Trump’s credit, he has shown much more resolve in facing Iran with force than previous presidents, especially President Barack Obama. He has recognized Iran’s nuclear threat and has had the boldness to confront it.
But now, the war is at a stalemate. President Trump has found that America’s military cannot defeat Iran.
