Sources inside the White House confirm that President Trump's erratic handling of the Iran crisis has left the administration isolated and scrambling. Uncovered diplomatic cables reveal that Britain, through quiet and measured diplomacy, has become the de facto brake on a catastrophic military escalation. The President's threats of 'obliteration' have been met with alarm in London, where officials have worked behind the scenes to keep channels open to Tehran.
Documents show that British intelligence has been sharing real-time assessments with the Iranians, effectively neutering the element of surprise that Washington had hoped to maintain. One Whitehall source put it bluntly: 'We are the adults in the room. The Americans are playing with fire, and they don't realise the house is made of tinder.
' With Congress divided and European allies wary, Trump's grip on the situation appears to be slipping. The question now is whether Britain's careful diplomacy can prevent a war that no one can win.
