US President Donald Trump
Apparently, Donald Trump really wants the war to end, but Iran is not about to stop there. According to The Atlantic, Tehran may be able to resist American attacks for at least another three or four months — with the Strait of Hormuz closed.
The President of the USA, Donald Trumphe is losing patience with the war he himself started with Iran, which turned out to be much more difficult and lasted much longer than he expected, and he wants it to end as quickly as possible.
According to an external advisor to Trump cited on Friday by , the president is “annoyed” by the war e frustrated with intransigence of Iran’s negotiators — whoever they are.
“Trump is reluctant to resume hostilities and I would like muffle any military action before his trip to Beijing next week”, according to the US president’s collaborators and advisers.
However, Trump will have to wait some time before he can get out of the mess he created, given that “several experts have predicted that Iran will be able to withstand the pressure of the blockade for months, not weeks“, says The Atlantic.
The article cites a US intelligence assessment aimed at policymakers, which suggests that “the Iran will be able to resist at least more three or four months“, and keep the Strait of Hormuz closed in the meantime.
Trump already tried to declare a victory in Iranbut has had difficulty enforcing ceasefires or the short-lived attempt to cross the congested Strait of Hormuz.
According to The Atlantic, the US president “is convinced that Can sell any kind of deal as a win“, but, until Friday, Washington continued to wait for a response from Iran to the latest proposal presented. There is no proposal to sell to the Americans.
Part of the problem for Donald Trump lies in the fact that the US has, to a large extent, exhausted its list of significant military targets. To continue escalating the conflict, which is Trump’s signature move, the Republican would have to threaten civilian targets.
The American officials cited privately admit that with Iran’s leadership fragmented, the U.S. are not sure who they are negotiating withand that Trump sold the war with Iran as “another Venezuela”which would be resolved in a short time. A slight miscalculation by Donald J. Trump.
