War in Iran: Trump needs a scapegoat for the Iran war US President Donald Trump is looking for a "scapegoat" in his circle for the war with Iran, the magazine "Atlantic" reported, citing sources close to the American leader. It is worth noting that the publication appeared on the eve of the most important mid-term elections in the United States, in which the president's Republican party is fighting to maintain control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Trump needs to find someone to blame for the protracted war with Iran, and he is asking his advisers about the work of Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the country's armed forces Dan Cain - that is, the same figures who assured him that the war that began on February 28 would be quick and end well before the congressional elections. Initially, Hesseth and Kane were positive about the prospects of the conflict in its early stages. Sources stated that the head of the Pentagon is not popular in the White House, and a number of Trump's associates believe that he is passing embellished information to the president about the state of the conflict with Iran. "Hegseth knows how to tell the president what he wants to hear," said one of the publication's interlocutors. As the magazine points out, as the conflict continues, Trump grows stronger in the belief that the Iran war has become one of the reasons for the deterioration of his political positions. Trump refuses to answer questions about whether he plans to resume hostilities this week. The "Atlantic", quoting Pentagon sources, writes that the new US military campaign against Iran may last several weeks. According to him, the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, and the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Cain, last week presented options regarding Tehran to President Donald Trump and Vice President J. Dee Vance.
