'Whiplash is astonishing': Shortsighted Trump hammered for letting 'ego' lead world to war

The war with Iran has caused a "whiplash" moment for Donald Trump's administration and will pull the world closer to war, an analyst has warned.

The Mirror's US editor, Christopher Bucktin, believes the president's decision to bomb Iran in line with Israel's strikes has dragged the world closer to all-out war because Trump did not consider the longer-term consequences. The administration, Bucktin believes, is using its success in deposing of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro as a basis for its attempt at regime change in Iran.
