In Trump's speech, did anyone catch him spreading the blame to members of his inside [View all]

circle that claimed that Iran was ready to strike? Specifically, he mentioned Kushner, Witkoff and Hegseth.

This is mind boggling that a president would listen to his yes men and not confer with the intelligence agencies; and then blames his insiders when it all goes to shit.

Can we all agree that Trump's con job system has hit a snag and he is out of his depth?

Trump shifts Iran attack blame to advisers

President Donald Trump said advisers pushed him toward ordering strikes on Iran, shifting responsibility to key officials. He named negotiator Steve Witkoff, adviser Jared Kushner, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The remarks came as tensions remain high following US military action against Iran.

Speaking at a press conference in Florida, Trump said the situation with Iran had rapidly reached a “point of no return.” He explained that discussions with Witkoff, Kushner, and Hegseth convinced him that Iran was preparing to attack the United States. Trump said he believed Iran would have launched an attack within a week if the United States had not acted first.

The US president also claimed that American strikes destroyed 51 Iranian naval vessels. He said Iranian drone attacks had dropped by 83 percent after targeting Iran’s drone manufacturing facilities. Trump added that the United States possesses inexpensive interceptors capable of countering Iranian drone threats.

Furthermore, Trump warned Iran against disrupting global oil supplies or closing the Strait of Hormuz. He said the United States would respond with strong military action if such moves occurred. Trump also noted that some oil-related sanctions might be eased to stabilize global energy prices.
