How does Trump's current stance relate to his past positions on Iran and US foreign policy?

Trump's consideration of military intervention stems from his frustration over the lack of progress in securing a new nuclear deal with Iran and his perceived need for a decisive end to the conflict, not merely a ceasefire. This contrasts with his previous calls for de-escalation and support for diplomatic solutions. His actions are further complicated by mixed messaging, including a call for de-escalation from the G7 summit.
