The Problem with Trump’s Iran Strategy
It’s that he doesn’t have one.

President Blowhard has no policy on Iran, but why should Iran be any different. He has no policy on any issue.

He was going to attack Iran but backed down at the last moment. (Because Putin told him to?) Now Iran has made a major attack on Saudi Arabia. He's talking about attacking again. But he's also talking about bribing Iran. He clearly doesn't want to. (Again, I suspect Putin is pulling his strings.)

All in all, he's a weakling and everyone knows it.

, the president said that he was willing to meet Iranians with no preconditions, and his advisers repeated it—all on the record—and then he lyingly denied that he had ever said it. All of these happened as reports came out that the administration was considering a $15 billion bailout for Iran to bring it into talks. Yesterday, he said that he was “not looking to get in a new conflict, but sometimes you have to.” Translation: I have no idea what I’m going to do—not quite his “this aggression will not stand” moment.
