As President Donald Trump grapples with the implications of his failed negotiations for peace with Iran, one DC insider formerly of his orbit isn\u2019t holding back, blasting the \u201cflailing\u201d Commander in Chief for his historic \u201cstrategic failure.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is according to George Conway, former husband of first-term Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway and current Democratic congressional candidate, who took to X on Monday to post his unvarnished thoughts on the president\u2019s declaration<\/u> that the U.S. would \u201ckeep\u201d and \u201crun\u201d the Strait of Hormuz. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem, ultimately,\u201d posted Conway<\/u>, \u201cis that restoration of free passage in the Hormuz Strait would require a massive combined-arms offensive that would be extremely costly in blood and treasure, that would necessitate involvement of Western allies who no longer trust us and won’t fight with us, and for which there would be little, if any, domestic political support.\u201d Were the situation different, he elaborated, and the Iranians had taken control of the strait \u201cunilaterally without our provocation, the conditions for such a massive response \u2014 involving ground troops, allies, and Congressional authorization \u2014 might have been possible. Which is why the Iranians never did that.\u201d<\/p>\n

From there, Conway hammers on the profound degree of Trump\u2019s botched \u201cexcursion,\u201d asserting, \u201cNow Trump \u2014 and we \u2014 are stuck. And the Iranian regime knows it. They correctly perceive Trump’s flailing as weakness, and their new leaders, having gained the upper hand after a decapitation strike, know they have the upper hand. They don’t give a s\u2013\u2013 about Trump’s threats. It’s hard to imagine a greater and graver strategic failure than this one, which has resulted solely from Trump’s idiocy, ignorance, incompetence, impulsiveness and insanity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conway shared his thoughts along with a post from conservative political commentator Shermichael Singleton, who offered a similarly no-holds-barred assessment of Trump\u2019s war and how it is fanning the headwinds Republicans face heading into the November elections. <\/p>\n

\u201cGoing into midterms in the midst of a war that\u2019s materially impacting gas prices,\u201d wrote Singleton<\/u>, \u201cwhen the cost of living is the top issue for voters, doesn\u2019t make sense and will certainly have a negative impact on the Republican majority in the House. The incoherent strategy has caused predictable uncertainties for a resolution when the GOP should be focused on the very evident pain points for voters, but can\u2019t. The best thing for the administration is a swift resolution and prioritization of the tangible issues impacting millions who will vote this fall.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a follow-up post<\/u> responding to Conway, Singleton elaborated on how badly the war has backfired, writing, \u201cIran is now behaving like a quasi-superpower. They may lack nuclear warheads, but it is clear as day that they now know they have the ability to exert real control over the global economy by restricting passage through the strait. The dilemma is multifaceted for us: the very valid points [Conway] made on the cost and toll, as well as the simple fact that we can\u2019t be there forever. Regardless of what agreements are made, I think the Iranian regime is now positioned to be far more powerful than it was before.\u201d<\/p>\n
