Trump Statements on Iran Leave US Officials Scrambling Over Policy

🏛️ WHITE HOUSE — Trump speaks; his own officials don't know if it's policy. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: When principals can't confirm if Trump's words bind US policy, adversaries face a binary: treat everything as a threat or nothing as one. Tehran is calibrating how long to wait. A miscalculation — Iran dismissing a red line Trump meant, or acting on one he didn't — could restart strikes. That ambiguity looks like leverage but functions as a vacuum.
