Trump Sends Mixed Signals on Iran War

New details emerged this morning about President Trump's meeting in the situation room last Friday. According to Axios, President Trump is asking for several amendments to a deal negotiated between his envoys and the Iranians. In particular, President Trump wants to strengthen the sections around Iran's nuclear material, including details on how the US gets that material, and when.

All this is happening while several Americans were hurt in a missile attack on a Kuwaiti air base as negotiations to extend the ceasefire with Iran dragged on without conclusion.
