It's hard to miss how elitist media like the Associated Press thrive on the notion that the Iran war is already a fiasco.
On Sunday, the AP author was Will Weissert (best remembered for scribbling a loving paean for Fidel Castro), but it could have been written by any of a number of flacks at the DNC gloating over what they think will help the Democrats in the midterm elections. The result was an opinion piece very poorly disguised as a legitimate story -- "Two weeks into war with Iran, Trump has been knocked back on his political heels."
It was therefore no big surprise that the very first source cited in the story was a DNC hack:

I don’t think Trump is “back on his heels”.
From what I can tell, he got firm control of Iran’s oil, their income source, right now.

This piece skipped the line in the AP piece about Trump “increasingly agitated press briefings.” If you don’t take time to watch Trump’s calm, serious demeanor , as on AF 1 last night, mastering the press, you’d get the sense of panic, which is what AP wants to convey. Same with calling on other countries for help in Hormuz; as explained by the UN ambassador, we don’t need the stuff coming through there. The countries that do need it have to step up and supply tneir own protection. Makes sense, also calls mullahs’ strategy into question if they are denied loading China’s tankers.
Yeah that one set a new standard for shameless rat propaganda from a so called news org. Disgraceful, in fact treasonous.

The commie media has always rooted for the Muslims throughout the world to destroy the Western world. Going back to 9/11 the media made excuses for what Muslims did, they have been protecting Islam since then why stop now
The mullahs are counting on the US left’s useful idiots. It’s all they’ve got left.
But it is so reliable!
Delusional thinking in the media.
Most important event today was the failure of the Paris trade talks with China. We begged for magnets. They refused, and thus no point in having an early April summit, where the media would focus on that.
Summit rescheduled.
AP has the Vietnam syndrome> WE ARE LOSSING!
