The Washington Post is generally considered a reputable source, but its editorial stance may reflect a critical view of Trump's policies.

At the beginning of his illegal attacks on Iran, Trump, along with his Zionist ally, claimed that the goal was 'peace throughout the Middle East and the entire world.' Now, more than six months later, not only is chaos in the Middle East increasing, but it seems that Trump has no way to exit this self-made quagmire.
