Trump's Iran Strategy: Scaling Back, Shifting Responsibility

0:00On March 20, President Trump announced he's close to achieving major goals in the military campaign against Iran and is thinking about scaling back. U.S. strikes in the Middle East. His main targets include crippling Iran's missile systems and production facilities, taking out their navy and air force, blocking any path to nuclear, weapons, and safeguarding allies like Israel, Saudi Arabia, and others in the Gulf. This comes as his administration ramps up troop deployments and warships to the region, while asking Congress for $200 billion more, too. Keep the effort going. Trump envisions other nations taking over security for the straight-of-war moves, the vital shipping route, once Iran's threats are gone, with the U.S. ready to assist if needed. For now, these mixed signals highlight the fluid state of the conflict, as operations continue toward those stated aims.
