Trump lashes out at aides over lack of clear Iran strategy: NBC News
NBC says Trump grew frustrated as aides split over whether to pursue diplomacy, more strikes or a broader campaign against Iran.
- On Wednesday, NBC News reported President Donald Trump erupted at top national security officials, expressing growing exasperation as the Iran conflict stretches into its sixth month without resolution.
- The conflict began with joint American and Israeli airstrikes on February 28 that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, but has devolved into a stalemate involving closure of Hormuz, leaving the administration divided.
- Following Iranian missile fire toward Jordan, the American military carried out strikes in Iran, as reports indicate the administration faces 'a really profound problem' with depleting stockpiles of long-range weapons.
- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt disputed reports of Trump's temper, stating 'This is false,' while officials remain divided on whether to prioritize preventing a nuclear breakout or securing Hormuz.
- Trump is considering a broad air campaign involving 10 to 14 days of intensive strikes, though critics warn this risks 'a global economic calamity' amid the nation's severe munitions constraints.
