'Whiplash is astonishing': Shortsighted Trump hammered for letting 'ego' lead world to war

The war with Iran has caused a "whiplash" moment for Donald Trump's administration and will pull the world closer to war, an analyst has warned.

The Mirror's US editor, Christopher Bucktin, believes the president's decision to bomb Iran in line with Israel's strikes has dragged the world closer to all-out war because Trump did not consider the longer-term consequences.

'Sorry, what was that?' Trump sends shockwaves by casually making astonishing admission

President Donald Trump made a stunning admission to reporters late Sunday that critics said undercut his administration’s entire justification for its war against Iran — a conflict that has already cost taxpayers $65 billion and claimed the lives of at least 13 U.S. service members.

Trump sundered MAGA by committing an 'unpardonable' offense in Iran: GOP operative

President Donald Trump's "unpardonable" offense in the war in Iran has become the key issue that sundered his MAGA coalition, according to a GOP operative.
