Iran has got Trump where it wants him
Negotiations with Iran were going swimmingly, Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday. The US president suggested that an agreement could be reached in two or three days' time. Two days later, though, and a deal remains just as elusive today as it was last week and the week before that. In fact, not only is diplomacy apparently stuck, but the United States and Iran are increasingly taking shots at each other. Would a few more weeks of US bombing succeed in doing what past bombing failed to do? The 8 April ceasefire is still in effect but resting on weaker foundations.
