Depleted supplies could make negotiations difficult.

After more than a month of war against the U.S. and countries around the Middle East, the Iranian regime now enters peace negotiations with fewer ships, missiles and austere religious scholars than it had in February. This last category of depleted supplies could be most significant as whoever is now running the murderous regime in Tehran tries to assess the man who was elected to run the American government. Right now he still seems to be keeping everyone guessing.

Ryan King and Steven Nelson report for the New York Post:

President Trump dismissed the notion that he employed the “Madman Theory” to negotiate a cease-fire with Iran, claiming that he was poised to order civilization-destroying strikes.

Asked about the “madman” concept by The Post, Trump offered a counter-assessment that the US military is strong and he was willing to use it.

“I think that we have a phenomenal military that I rebuilt during my first term and I used in my second term, and I was willing to use it. I was willing to do it,” Trump said in a phone interview Wednesday…

The president sparked widespread panic Tuesday with his jaw-dropping ultimatum to Iran that a “whole civilization will die tonight” if Tehran failed to cut a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 8 o’clock ET that evening.
