The day after the United States and Israel began the war with Iran, President Donald Trump said the strikes would last four to five weeks. Now, as the war begins its fourth week, it appears there is no end in sight. Iran's regime is severely weakened, but is still retaliating against Israel and its Gulf neighbors. The Strait of Hormuz is largely closed, leaving oil prices spiking. Trump's top counterterrorism official resigned in protest to the war. In an escalation of the war, Israel struck Iran’s South Pars gas field this week, prompting Iran to retaliate by attacking energy infrastructure for neighboring countries in the region. The South Pars field in the Persian Gulf is Iran’s biggest source of domestic energy and the largest gas field in the world. Following the strike, Trump said in a Truth Social post Wednesday night that Israel acted alone and that “the United States knew nothing about this particular attack.” Michael Doran, who served on President George W. Bush's National Security Council staff, doubts the president's message. “Of course he knew about it,” Doran, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, told host Nick Schifrin. “He's saying he didn't know about in order to protect his escalation option.” Dana Stroll, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East during the Biden administration, shared that she had a different view. “I think that Trump had to back down,” Stroll, who is now the director of research at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said. “The U.S. and Israeli military operations are so joint at this point, there's no way in which that South Pars Israeli strike would have happened without the U.S. military knowing.” “Why did he back down so fast? I think because he wasn't prepared for how fast the Iranians escalated,” Stroll added.
