Trump's 'shifting statements' on Iran signal one key thing is out of his control: analysis

Donald Trump may have already lost his grip on the war in Iran, and his statements on the former and current leadership of the country show it, according to reporting.

Political analysis from the New York Times highlighted how the president had wavered in his rhetoric on Iran and its leaders, and that it may be because he does not hold as much sway in this conflict as first thought. Michael Crowley, Julian E. Barnes, and Ronen Bergman suggest the president is beholden to an allied nation, rather than his own wants.
