“Trump the unreliable narrator fails to force reality to match his story on Iran

As the story of the US-Iran war is written direct to social media, Donald Trump may be the genre’s premier unreliable narrator.

Since the war began, Trump has again and again threatened Iran with fearsome consequences if Tehran doesn’t come to the table and sign a peace deal that the US president said was imminent weeks ago. And he has also repeatedly claimed that an Iran deal is “close” – without any result. (A CNN tally put the number of times he’s claimed it at 38.)

Never mind that the US has already claimed “complete victory” in the conflict and Trump has attacked reporters who have questioned the wisdom of the intervention, particularly as the strait of Hormuz remains closed to more than 20% of global oil traffic.

Even so, he continues to seek to have it both ways: both declaring Iran vanquished and painting the country’s stubbornness as the reason why he can’t sign a peace deal and end the conflict.”[/quote]
