Members of President Donald Trumps inner circle are experiencing buyers remorse over the Iran conflict and are beginning to regard Operation Epic Fury as a disastrous mistake, according to a report.
The U.S. and Israel launched surprise joint airstrikes against Tehran in the early hours of Saturday, February 28, killing Irans Supreme Leader Ali Ayatollah Khamenei on the first day of the aerial bombardment, ending his 47-year authoritarian reign in one fell swoop.
Iran quickly hit back with retaliatory strikes of its own against its Gulf neighbor states hosting American and Israeli military assets. So far, 13 U.S. servicemembers have died. Meanwhile, Tehrans moves to target tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the worlds total oil supply is shipped, have caused global fuel prices to soar.
Now an administration source quoted by Axios has claimed that Trump was high on his own supply when he gave the greenlight for the joint operation to commence.

Are they willing to be more than anonymous sources? If not they're pretty useless.
