Despite the backlash following the deadly strike, Trump is considering escalatory measures, including ground operations to seize uranium and Kharg Island, in addition to destroying Iranian civilian infrastructure.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth simultaneously purged top military officials without explanation, suggesting suppression of internal dissent. Zeteo reported that moral constraints present during Trump’s first term have been replaced by “genuine or performed bloodlust” in both domestic and foreign affairs.
