Trump's inner circle showing 'buyer's remorse' over Iran war and fear president was 'high on his own supply,' report say [View all]

Members of President Donald Trump’s inner circle are experiencing “buyer’s remorse” over the Iran conflict and are beginning to regard Operation Epic Fury as a disastrous mistake, according to a report.

The U.S. and Israel launched surprise joint airstrikes against Tehran in the early hours of Saturday, February 28, killing Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Ayatollah Khamenei on the first day of the aerial bombardment, ending his 47-year authoritarian reign in one fell swoop.

Iran quickly hit back with retaliatory strikes of its own against its Gulf neighbor states hosting American and Israeli military assets. So far, 13 U.S. servicemembers have died. Meanwhile, Tehran’s moves to target tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the world’s total oil supply is shipped, have caused global fuel prices to soar.

Now an administration source quoted by Axios has claimed that Trump was “high on his own supply” when he gave the greenlight for the joint operation to commence.

Are they willing to be more than anonymous sources? If not they're pretty useless.
