WSJ details Trump's fears over Iran island seizure

A Wall Street Journal report provides detailed accounts of President Donald Trump's chaotic decision-making process during the Iran conflict. Officials describe a rushed, unstructured approach where Trump often made major decisions without consulting advisers, closely followed footage of strikes, and shouted at aides for hours after two U.S. pilots were shot down. A key driver for his current push for a ceasefire is the economic pressure from rising fuel prices linked to the Strait of Hormuz closure, with energy executives influencing his thinking. The report also states Trump rejected plans to seize Kharg Island over casualty fears and that his focus frequently shifted to domestic politics, AI, and personal priorities like White House renovations.
