How Republican hawks primed Trump to strike back at Iran
On the night of June 19, President Donald Trump approved and then abruptly called off military strikes against Iran in retaliation for a downed US surveillance drone.
The move, which came after months of escalating tensions, confused and frustrated many of the President's more hawkish advisers and allies, who had hoped he would take a stronger stand against Iran and were concerned that his pull back would send a signal of weakness and only embolden the government in Tehran.
In the six months since, many of those hawks have largely felt justified in their concern as Iran has continued to attack and threaten the United States and its allies in the region, according to two Republicans who acknowledged they were troubled by what they had come to believe were empty words from Trump. Through private conversations and carefully calibrated public statements, they have tried to push the President to match his often tough rhetoric toward Iran with equally tough action.
The next time an opportunity arose to strike back at Iran, the hawks hoped, Trump would be primed to act.
