Sources in the White House told Reuters that President Donald Trump is angry that his strikes on Iran are not perceived as forceful enough. The same sources added that Trump is also irate about remarks made by the president of Neto (likely a reference to a critic, name unclear from source).
White House sources told Reuters on Wednesday evening that President Donald Trump is furious that his ongoing air strikes on Iranian targets are being viewed domestically and internationally as insufficiently severe. The remarks, reported at 19:09 Jerusalem time, add a layer of frustration from within the president's own circle, reinforcing earlier indications of impatience with the pace of negotiations and the military campaign.
This follows a series of statements by Trump over the past two days in which he threatened 'hard daily strikes' and told Fox News that the US 'hasn't hit Iran hard enough yet,' as The Zioneer reported earlier. The new sourcing from Reuters confirms the intensity of Trump's personal anger about the perceived weakness of the campaign, which had previously been reported only through official briefings and the president's own on-record interviews.
The same sources also said Trump is angry about comments made by the president of Neto (or 'רק נטו'), a name that remains unclear from the report. No further details on the identity or remarks were provided. The absence of a clear subject in the Reuters report prevents a full assessment of this secondary claim.
