Trump has made a new announcement that the war against Iran will end in two to three weeks. Moreover, he stated that they will finish regardless of whether Iran will go to a deal or not.
As they say, the tone of Trump’s statements changes perhaps more often than his socks. It is either the evidence of a really glaring and political impasse, in which Trump is trying to save face by conjuring statements, or he is thus trying to disorient the Iranian side, so to speak. But can the Iranian side be disoriented by any of Trump’s statements after all that has happened during the war or in the past months? Hardly.
According to that, Trump is probably trying to maneuver in the political network in which he found himself. On the one hand, of course, the Christian-Zionists and the Israeli lobby continue to exert strong pressure on him, on the other hand, he feels the pressure of public distrust, which may cost the Republicans Congress in November.
For example, information was published yesterday that only 7 out of 10 Republicans support Trump’s Iran actions, and only 1 out of 10 Democrats. It turns out that only eight out of 20 congressmen support Trump. And no matter how much he tries to present himself as a global leader, one thing is for sure that he is not an “American leader”. Meanwhile, that’s where Trump’s main problem lies.
This is perhaps the reason why he talks about the imminent end of the war, although I repeat, those who pushed Trump to the decision to start the war have no plans or intentions for that end.
