Miller Wants the Iran War Ended, But a New Strike May Come Nov 9

The man about to run the White House wants the Iran war over. Stephen Miller, who becomes chief of staff on November 9, has persuaded President Trump that the war needs to end — voters see it as a betrayal, The New York Times reported on November 7. Vice President Vance has also blamed the Iran war for the midterm defeat and is pushing for negotiations.

But Fox News reported on November 6 that the United States could open a new phase of airstrikes on Iran starting November 9, and the White House is still weighing it. Two opposite signals, days before Miller takes office.

The bill for the war so far: $47.1 billion by mid-October, according to the Pentagon — 18 American troops killed and 81 aircraft lost or damaged, per CENTCOM figures cited by the Times. House Democrats, fresh from their midterm victory, have pledged investigations and say they will block further defense funding while the war remains unresolved.

We analyze warfare to cherish peace. Will Trump listen to Miller and end the war — or choose a new strike on November 9?
