4 weeks in, Trump's conflicting signals on Iran war frustrate GOP lawmakers and political allies

President Donald Trump’s conflicting signals over the future of the war in Iran have spurred deepening frustration among GOP lawmakers and allies who fear the administration still lacks a clear endgame after four weeks of fighting.

Trump over the last several days has simultaneously expressed a desire for peace and a willingness to plunge the US into a new and more dangerous phase of the war.

He has insisted that Iran is eager to negotiate a truce while also ordering thousands more troops to the region over the coming days and weeks.

And as Trump nears his self-imposed deadline for a war he insists is ahead of schedule and effectively won, he has repeatedly declined to specify what would constitute a victory — leaving all but his closest advisers largely in the dark.

Trump’s advisers are in the dark because Trump has no idea what he’s doing.
