In their piece published Monday, the board said Iran had flouted a ceasefire with the U.S. via attacks on warships and the United Arab Emirates and that a U.S. response was underwhelming.
By clinging to the cease-fire through it all, Mr. Trump sent the wrong signal. Iran s regime clearly thinks it can outlast a President who no longer wants the fight.
