Trump Is Waging War Based on Instinct and It Isn't Working

  • One month into Operation Epic Fury, President Donald Trump suggested the U.S. may soon be "winding down" the operation, though some key objectives remain undefined or unfulfilled.
  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reported Thursday that the U.S. has damaged or destroyed more than 150 Iranian vessels, while Trump claimed about 90% of Iran's missiles and launchers have been knocked out.

  • Trump indicated on Monday that the U.S. might retrieve about 970 pounds of enriched uranium if a deal is struck, despite experts warning such a mission would require sizable United States Military deployments.
