Trump's mixed messages and unpredictability on Iran

It seemed inevitable earlier this week that President Trump would be ordering military strikes on Iran, but then he pulled back after getting pressure from Israel and America’s Arab allies to hold off. But that doesn’t mean that he won’t attack Iran next week, or tomorrow, or right now, for that matter. Unpredictability is often a useful leadership tool, but we’re in a whole other reality now.
