Trump's 'emotional' outburst showed Iran it got 'under his skin': expert

President Donald Trump's comments on Truth Social amid the Iran war revealed how this conflict would potentially play out, a former Defense Department official said on Wednesday.

Evelyn Farkas, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, told MS NOW host Alex Witt that Vice President JD Vance referred to these talks as "fragile" and discussed what could come next.

"I think he's right to call it fragile," Farkas said. "We don't know whether the truce will hold. And clearly, the Iranians are nervous that, you know, our administration could take advantage of the truce in some way militarily. Although I would say that because of President Trump's very emotional messages over the weekend, they probably are feeling pretty confident that they've gotten under the skin of our government and that we were we really did want a resolution to this diplomatically. So I think that there's a greater than 50 percent likelihood that this truce will hold, and that it will actually transform into a durable agreement, because both sides do, at the end of the day, want to put an end to this fighting."
