Turin, 24 July (LaPresse) – Donald Trump is losing his patience over the war with Iran, for which there is no end in sight. This is the headline of a Wall Street Journal feature on the White House’s strategies regarding the ongoing conflict. During a recent meeting in the Oval Office, the newspaper reports, Trump launched a fierce tirade against Iranian leaders, calling them ‘scum’ and ‘madmen’, and accompanying his words with a string of expletives, according to a person who heard the comments. In recent days, the WSJ points out, the president has become increasingly sceptical that negotiations with Iran can lead to a lasting peace. According to a senior administration official, Trump believes that the only language Iran understands is that of military force, adding that the president is in ‘revenge mode’ towards Tehran.
