Confidence between the parties appears to be at rock bottom, with Iranian leaders echoing Trump’s latest complaints by saying the US side has reneged on commitments and can’t be trusted. The president has repeatedly threatened to escalate, but faces constraints as US weapons stocks dwindle.Earlier: Trump Faces Escalation Conundrum as Iran War Flares Once AgainVice President JD Vance, presidential envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner are still talking to intermediaries, the president said. But he groused that the Iranians “always want to talk, but they break their word so often.”“All they do is make me angry,” Trump said. The US and Iran have exchanged airstrikes over the last several days, though no American attacks were carried out overnight. Trump has repeatedly vented frustration with the state of the conflict in private, according to people familiar with the matter. The president and his advisers once predicted the war that he launched alongside Israel in late February would only last a matter of weeks. Instead, the conflict has turned into an intractable fight, which has wreaked havoc on global energy markets. The disruptions have resulted in higher gasoline prices for Americans, causing a political risk for Trump’s fellow Republicans in the November midterm elections. —With assistance from Hadriana Lowenkron and Skylar Woodhouse.(Updates with additional context starting in fifth paragraph)This advertisement has not loaded yet.Notice for the Postmedia NetworkThis website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.
