War Drums and Mixed Signals

President Trump’s administration is sending more troops to the Middle East, which doesn’t exactly scream ‘peace talks’ are going well. But at the same time, the White House claims Iran has asked for a ceasefire – a claim Iranian officials flat-out deny.

Trump’s expected to address the nation soon, and it’s likely he’ll try to explain why he thinks this war was necessary. Given the mixed messages coming from the administration, it’s hard to predict what he’ll say. One thing’s for sure: it won’t be boring.

Nick Schifrin’s got the latest on this mess, but don’t expect any straight answers. It’s not like the Trump administration’s known for clarity.
