Seeing a comment from an overseas netizen, which is quite interesting, the general idea is:
Trump is not "confused" on the Iran issue, but rather in a dilemma.
Because Iran's strategy is simple:
Protract the conflict, increase US military casualties, weaken the US military bases in the Middle East, raise global oil prices, and make ordinary American people feel that the war is right at their doorstep.
The longer it goes on, the higher the political cost of the midterm elections will be.
This is why Trump now contradicts himself every few hours.
He says the war is "almost over," then says the war is "just beginning."
Iran is "completely defeated," yet still "threatening."
He even proposed the idea of Iran bombing its own elementary school — after the US bombed 168 girls — and then admitted he "didn't know enough about it."
This is the strategic pressure.
Trump started a war, killed Khamenei, reactivated Hezbollah, caused the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and created the worst funeral scene in Minab in ten years.
But now he has no way out, neither a victory to announce nor a way to deal with the mess he has created.
Iran is just stalling for time.
Trump's ability is gradually running out. [Shocked]
