While President Trumps position on Iran tends to change with little notice, he backed away from his insistence that he doesnt want war with Iran on Monday, saying now of the war it could go either way, and Im OK either way it goes.
Trump added that its getting harder for me to want to make a deal with Iran in the first place, because he views them as behaving very badly, and are the number one state of terror in the world.
Trump followed this up by announcing new sanctions against China, saying they were intended to punish them for accepting crude oil. This is likely to be a bigger problem for US-China ties than Iran, as Iran is already heavily sanctioned.
If Trumps new bellicose stance sticks, this could be a major shift in US hostility toward Iran. President Trump has been one of the few top officials insisting he didnt want a war as administration hawks continued to talk of a conflict as all but inevitable. If Trump is indeed OK either way on the war, its not going to be any secret that his top aides will be pushing him to choose war over peace.
