WSJ: How Trump Was Kept Out of Iran Rescue Operation

According to the Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump was excluded from critical moments of the operation to rescue American pilots in Iran due to concerns about his impulsive behavior.

The report states that Trump was informed by phone but did not participate in meetings in the White House Situation Room. His aides believed his impatience could jeopardize the operation.

The incident comes to light as Trump is reportedly wavering between an aggressive stance and anxiety, with the White House managing ongoing crises and fears of wider destabilization.

Following the successful rescue of the pilots, Trump made new provocative statements regarding the Strait of Hormuz.

White House officials claim that they consider significant progress in negotiations with Iran likely in the coming days.
