Senior Trump official 'practically admitted' Trump has stumbled into trap: report

President Donald Trump may have already passed the point of no return in Iran and walked headfirst into an “escalation trap” — with one senior White House official “practically” admitting as much, Axios reported Monday.

Trump first authorized strikes on Iran on Feb. 28 and appeared hopeful that the operation — purportedly aimed at toppling the Iranian government — would be swift, much like the Trump administration’s attack on Venezuela in January or its strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities last summer.
