According to multiple sources who spoke to the U.S. CBS News website, President Trump has become increasingly frustrated with what his aides have told him about the limitations of military options against Iran. Military planners told the president that any strike on Tehran is almost certainly not a decisive one, and limited strikes could instead open the door to a larger confrontation — a conflict that could drag the United States into a prolonged Middle East war.
Comment: Trump wants a "one-shot, easy win," but the military poured cold water on him — limited strikes are ineffective, and a full-scale war would plunge the U.S. into a long-term conflict, leaving it in a dilemma. This also exposes the fatal flaw in the U.S. policy toward Iran: military options can't achieve what Trump wants, and the country just keeps swinging between deterrence and hesitation, making the Middle East situation even more dangerous.
