The BBC’s Frank Gardner on why the Iran war is a ‘complete humiliation’ for Donald Trump is a minute and a bit very well spent
The BBC’s estimable security correspondent Frank Gardner is always worth watching, and no more than when he’s talking Donald Trump and his war on Iran.
The American president appears to be preparing to call it a day after he achieved all his aims/got bored (delete as appropriate).
And here is the great Gardner explaining just what this means for the so-called American president, and it’s a minute and a bit very well spent.
BBC correspondent admits Trump is backing down and conceding defeat. Iran threatened to obliterate Gulf desalination plants. Without water the Gulf states collapse in days. They begged Trump to stop. Total humiliation for Washington. pic.twitter.com/nLDc2bgABg

If true that’s the best news I’ve heard since the beginning of this debacle.
