Trump and Netanyahu reportedly had an ugly phone call over the Iran war, with one account calling it a “shouting match from hell.” The two are apparently not seeing eye to eye on the direction of the campaign. Netanyahu’s office denies the report, but the story raises questions about how much agreement there really is between the two governments.
Now Scott Bessent has been moved out of his Washington-area home and onto a military base after threats from Iran. The Treasury secretary has been helping lead the financial war against Tehran, and U.S. officials are taking the threats seriously enough to change where he lives.
Then there’s Hegseth. Thomas Massie tried to impeach the defense secretary over his handling of the war, but House Republicans voted to send the resolution to committee, effectively killing it. Massie was the only Republican to side with Democrats. The effort is dead for now, but the allegations aren’t going away.
A reported blowup with Netanyahu, an Iranian threat against the Treasury secretary, and an impeachment fight over the Pentagon’s conduct. That’s quite a list for a war Trump has to manage both overseas and in Washington.
