... Officials and those close to Trump reveal his increasing frustration that a conflict he expected to be resolved within weeks is still ongoing without a clear end in sight.

The US military is reportedly deploying additional weapons, medics, and special forces to the Middle East, expanding its options as hopes for a diplomatic resolution wane. ...

Iran launched fresh attacks at American military bases across the Middle East on Friday after Donald Trump vowed "major punishment" over Tehran's unwavering hold on shipping.

The Iranian army said it had attacked US military equipment depots at Al-Adiri in northern Kuwait and damaged a surveillance tower used by the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain after US Central Command confirmed a 13th consecutive night of strikes on Iran.

The Iranians also said they had attacked a US barracks and fighter jets in Jordan, and US barracks, a spy balloon and Patriot air defences in Erbil, Iraq.

Both sides traded strikes after Donald Trump announced that he would hold Iran accountable for attacks by Iran and the allied Houthi rebels in Yemen for extending the war to a second major shipping chokepoint, the mouth of the Red Sea.

Insiders close to the US president told the Wall Street Journal that Trump is losing patience with Iran and sees few options besides continuing strikes. ...

.. the US president is losing patience and sees few good options beyond continuing military action against Iran. ...

If only the senior military officials of the United States would have told him about this liekly outcome.

Oh wait, Pres Trump seems to be firing those senior military officials who do not agree with him.

@#3 ... Fat bald demented pedo thinks he matters ...

Well, so long as he is the Commander in Chief of the awesome US Military, he does matter. For better or worse.

Worse, as in Iran.

And, imo, that he is the Commander in Chief of our great military is the problem.

I'll leave it there.
