Reports this weekend indicate that President Trump is “bored” of the Iran ‘excursion.’ Iran, meanwhile, seems bent on humiliating him. The White House waited almost a week for a response to its ‘memorandum’, which is basically a proposal to start talking about a proposal to end the conflict. Tehran then watered down most of the US demands and added several of its own – including formal dominion of the Strait of Hormuz and reparations.
And the US must also grapple with the fact that Israel, its partner in this war, is in no mood for ending it. Trust is becoming a major barrier to ending the war. Can Trump trust the Iranians? Will the Iranians trust Trump? And can either side trust Israel to end the war even if they do? Piers Morgan is joined by former Israeli prime minister and opposition coalition leader Naftali Bennett plus our latest Uncensored panel; Founder of Independent Veterans of America Paul Rieckhoff, former British Army Commander Col. Richard Kemp, senior fellow at UCLA International Institute, Benjamin Radd and journalist and author of ‘Irregular Army’ Matt Kennard.
Then; two weeks ago President Trump accused Kurdish groups of stealing US weapons sent to support Iranian dissidents. The Kurds have also poured cold water on repeated suggestions they could be used as a proxy ground force in the Iran War US-Kurdish relations, though, appear convivial. Last night, the President shared – to millions of followers – an interview praising him as a master dealmaker. Qubad Talibani, deputy prime minister of the Kurdistan Region, was the man with the warm words. He joins Piers.
