Trump faces mounting challenges and warnings in Iran conflict

The conflict with Iran is creating significant problems for Trump. Multiple reports describe the war as having no easy exit, with dangers multiplying for the U.S. and risks of trapping the country in a prolonged conflict similar to Vietnam. Analysts point to Trump's lack of planning as a particular danger in a wartime situation.

Iran has vowed to make Trump pay for what it calls a 'grave miscalculation' if the U.S. escalates, and has warned Trump that he 'can be eliminated.' The U.S. has responded with what is described as its 'most intense' bombing campaign. Iran has also revealed a civilian death toll from the attacks.
