🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump wants Iran to hand him an exit. Fmr Trump Lawyer Robert Barnes says the intel community just told him, in writing, that Iran isn't giving him one.
He laid out what leaked out of the Washington Post this week: every round of strikes has hardened Iran's position rather than softened it.
Trump saw it happen in real time too, rejecting three separate ceasefire attempts run through Pakistan, Qatar, and finally Iraq's prime minister.
Barnes expects a 75% chance Trump hits Pickax Mountain this weekend, a strike that likely won't destroy the facility but gives him something to declare victory over.
Rebuild the narrative, claim the nuclear threat is gone, quietly lift the blockade, and let Fox News run with it while his base, already exhausted by this war, doesn't push back.
If the plan is a symbolic strike dressed as a win, does anyone still watching get fooled, or does everyone already know the difference?
