Jeremy Bowen: Trump is waging war based on instinct and it isn't working

Trump's instinct-driven approach to the month-old conflict in Iran has failed to produce desired results, according to reporting on his decision-making during the crisis. The President's strategy has relied on gut feeling rather than the methodical planning typically associated with military and diplomatic operations. This suggests tension between Trump's preference for rapid, intuitive action and the complex realities of sustained conflict that may require coordination with military advisors and diplomatic channels. The ineffectiveness raises questions about whether the administration will adjust its approach or maintain its current course. The conflict underscores broader challenges the Trump administration faces in translating presidential instinct into workable policy outcomes on national security.
