A Wall Street Journal report details the chaotic decision-making and internal fears within the Trump administration during the Iran conflict. Officials describe a rushed, unstructured approach where Trump's erratic behavior during the operation to rescue two American airmen shot down over Iran led military officials to keep him out of the command room, fearing he could endanger the critical mission. In addition, the White House chose Islamabad to handle ceasefire negotiations due to President Trump's anger at European allies for failing to support the war.
