The pressure is being put on Iran, Trump is pushing for “An end. A real end. Not a ceasefire. An end”. But as we mark the fifth day of missile lobbing and war lobbying, there seems to be no clear route towards a resolution. We were waiting for exactly how Trump would facilitate an end, apparently it’s “unconditional surrender”. Seems a little desperate. And as Trump and Vance, the US government really make noises and threats about going in some of us wonder, why is the US about to go in, if the Israelis are winning? Why did Trump dropped the pretence that the Israelis were doing the heavy lifting and he acknowledges that it was the US? Trump also said that the US knows where the “Supreme Leader is hiding” and that they are not going to kill him “at least for now”. And perhaps he’s running out of patience as according to Axios, Trump is considering a strike on Iran ahead of the ongoing Situation Room meeting.
