  Trump has damaged diplomatic relations across Europe and the world, and what has he got out of it?

  Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield.

• 00:24

  I think it's been a massive strategic failure.

• 00:26

  This is kind of the definition of madness,

• 00:29

  this constant repetition of these kind of same strategies that never actually make the Middle East more stable.

• 00:34

  The U.S. President has abandoned a threat of destruction for Iran as a last-minute, two-week ceasefire is agreed.

• 00:42

  But does Iran now have the upper hand?

• 00:45

  And how much of a mess is this for Donald Trump?
