Trump Says WAR IS WON and Blames Hegseth for Conflict in Iran.

The most revealing part of President Donald Trump’s latest comments about the war with Iran isn’t the strategy—it’s the impulse behind how he talks about it. In a single stretch of remarks, he managed to do two things that rarely coexist comfortably in serious statecraft: casually assign credit for the start of a war and publicly narrate supposed diplomatic progress that the other side insists doesn’t exist. If nothing else, it underscores a defining trait of his leadership style—an inability to keep sensitive matters contained. Independent media has never been more important.
